pottery in my life

Looking out the back door of my studio, the Cimarron River glistens
through the cottonwood trees in the summer sun; looking to the south
as I work at my potter's wheel, I watch the Oklahoma seasons change
the wheat fields from lush green pasture to waves of ripening grain.  On
those glorious days that Oklahoma provides perfect weather,  I will
spend quite hours gathering the wood, vines and antlers that I use from
the land that my family farms outside of Kingfisher, Oklahoma.

I make pottery that is to be used; I hold it and carry it, testing to see
what it will feel like in your hands, striving to make pieces that are
comfortable and familiar to each of us.  Each piece is uniquely designed
to compliment the natural beauty that Mother Nature bestows upon us.
 I am one of the lucky Oklahomans that lives and works with the land
on a daily basis; I strive to pass that on to you through my pottery.

My goal is to provide you with a piece of pottery that you, your family
and friends will treasure for many years to come.  When you pour a cool
drink from one of my pitchers, quietly enjoy a steaming cup of tea, or
treasure the smiles and love shared as you gather with the people that
you care about around a table that includes Robin Wolf Pottery, think
of Oklahoma and the land that influences each piece of work that I
create.

My friend, Rhonda Lane, a teacher for Calumet Schools, put together a
great video piece on Robin Wolf Pottery as a class project for "Celebrate
Oklahoma".  You can see the video about my work and studio at
"Celebrate Oklahoma Voices"  a learning community empowering digital
witnesses of Oklahoma oral history.  Robin Wolf Pottery was also
featured on August 28, 2010 (episode 845) on
"Discover Oklahoma"  a
wonderful show that highlights unique and interesting places to visit
and things to see in Oklahoma.

I am honored with the opportunity to have my work added to  "Muse -
The Store" at the Fred Jones Jr Museum of Art, located at the
University of Oklahoma in Norman.  Muse is located just inside the
front doors of the museum, open to all Tuesdays through Sunday
(

When in Oklahoma City, please visit Bricktown Red Dirt Marketplace
(
www.bricktownmarketplace.com).  The Red Dirt Marketplace is located
in the Bricktown entertainment district, in the Miller - Jackson building
just west of the ball park, downstairs from Hooter's at 115 E. California

My work is available in 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.
