ART and FIRE in Nancy Patterson Lamb's GOOD EARTH

Nancy Lamb is an artist with clay. For fifty years she has been studying, working, and thinking about clay. Even so, the element of suprise is important in her work. She loves the audacity of color, and by contrast, its absence. Hers is a deep commitment to all living things, inspired by the beauty and diversity observed in every plant, animal, and moment in time.

Nancy loves to laugh and with her work bring a smile to her world.

The FIRE on GOOD EARTH
...... by Nancy Patterson Lamb

One of the fortunate people, I travel a path playing with fire, clay, and glaze. The present is so exciting that I don't have time to commit the past to writing. I want to do that, too, but not just yet.

My work is signed with a FLAME over the initials, NP, for Nancy Patterson, my name when I began working with clay in the Los Angeles studio of Albert and Louisa King. That was in 1949, the year before I graduated from the Los Angeles Art Center College of Design. In the nearly fifty years between then and now, flaming NP clay pieces have been made not only in the US, but also in Denmark, Finland, and Taiwan.

My work is customized for each client. A list of prices for typical applications is available here. If you have a special project in mind using tile or brick, please call or email, and I'll send you an estimate.
