| Pottery in My Life For many years, when I spent time with people that I always considered "real" artists, those gifted individuals that could actually draw or paint, I somehow felt less talented, because I was just a potter. I explained this to one of my friends, and she laughed at me. She laughed at my foolishness of not valuing the gift that I have been given, this ability to take a piece of earth and turn it into a beautiful, warm, touchable treasure that can last for a thousand years. She reminded me that I create a usable piece of art that my grandchildren will be able to use on their holiday table, laughing about their crazy old Granny who was still making pots up until the day she died (hopefully)! I hope that I can provide you with a piece of pottery that you, your family and friends will treasure every time you pour a cool drink from one of my jugs, quietly enjoy a steaming cup of tea steeped in a teapot, or think of the smiles and love shared as you gather around the table with the people that you care about, and enjoy a meal of good food and laughter served out of a piece of unique Robin Wolf Pottery. |

| My mark is L2K. Created for the people that make this possible; my husband Larry and my daughters, Lexie, Kian, and Kaily. (2 L's and 2 K's.) |
| All of my pottery is food safe, hand crafted from high fired stoneware clay. I compound all of my own glazes, and fire in a 19 cubic foot gas kiln that my husband and I built. The antlers, wood and vine that I use on my work are from land that Larry and his 2 brothers farm, just outside of Kingfisher, Oklahoma. Looking out the back door, the Cimarron River is less than 1 mile north of us, looking to the south as I work at my potter's wheel I see open wheat fields changing with the ever surprising Oklahoma seasons. Being involved with the land and the animals that share the land with us influences the work that I create. I make pottery that is to be used; I hold it, carry it, feel what it will feel like in your hands, striving to make pieces that are comfortable and familiar to each of us. No matter where you live, there is a tie that binds us all to the land. I just happen to be one of the lucky few that are allowed to live with it on a daily basis. I hope that my pottery passes that along to you. If you are in the Oklahoma City area, you may see my work at the Cross Bar Gallery (www.crossbargallery.com). They are located on Reno Avenue, just East of Meridian, and also at 1400 South Agnew, in Oklahoma City's historic Stock Yard City (1/2 block south of Cattlemen's Restaurant). My work is also available in historic Guthrie, Oklahoma at Aunt Gertrude's House (www.auntgertrudeshouse.com), an American Crafts Gallery located at 112 E. Oklahoma. Take the short drive to Guthrie, and experience a trip into the true heart of Oklahoma, a city that has taken great pride in preserving the history and architecture of turn of the century Oklahoma. |
