Cynthia Aldrich is a resident of Durham, NC and has been working with clay for over thirty years. She has studied and had studios in New York, Michigan, Minnesota, and now North Carolina. Her work encompasses two very different styles and approaches to clay.

A line of production pottery pieces includes mugs, baking dishes, planters, pitchers, etc. These pieces are wheelthrown, made of high fired stoneware clay, and feature pastel glazes with flowing floral motifs.

In contrast, Ms. Aldrich's other work, which is now her primary focus, is figurative ceramic sculpture inspired by images of prehistoric goddess figures and symbols.
