Louise & Steven Skinner
I’ve been a professional artist all my life. My pottery embodies my training as an artist, my attraction to watercolors, printmaking, painting, and sculpture, plus my interests in American Regionalism, and Art from ancient cultures. A previous art instructor at Columbia College and the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, I now live and work creating pottery in Northwest Indiana and sharing my love of clay.
