Jenn Rawling is a studio artist from Durango, CO who focuses her creativity on painting, print making, song writing, & medicine making.  She is inspired by natural forms, botanicals, being outside, & the elements. She also hand prints her designs on useful goods such as tea towels, shirts, aprons, & tote bags.

 I have loved clay and making pottery from the time I was a little kid…guess that first sniff of PlayDoh as a preschooler really got me hooked!  But I’ve always collected teapots and plates and interesting ceramic objects from yard sales, thrift stores and ultimately started collecting pottery from potters whom I admire.  I first starting taking classes in college as a hobby and loved taking workshops over the many years with renowned artists whom I admire such as Julia Galloway, Sunshine Cobb, Steven Hill, Lorna Meaden, Adam Field, and Jill Hinkley, to name but a few.  I enjoy creating fun, funky, and functional pottery that will bring a smile to those who use them.
