Rosanna Barber
I am an Ohio artist living in Ada with my husband and baby. I graduated with a double major in art and writing from Bluffton University in 2024
My work focuses primarily on ceramics, emphasizing the artistry of everyday functional items and simple vessels. The use of reduction and wood ash brings out the natural reds and browns of the clay and the flames that color it. It only takes a few simple techniques, many of which have been used for centuries, to create beautiful pieces.
