Maymeep Studio

 

Virginia, United States

Maymeep is a word Peggy Sue made up as a child to mean she was having fun. Peggy Sue is a lifelong art junkie, animal lover, and color freak; these critters are a natural amalgam of her interests. They begin as lumps of clay on a wheel, which she throws into a bottomless, closed form. Peggy Sue starts to alter the form by pushing, pulling, and coaxing it into the creature it will become. Next, a slab bottom is added, and then becomes the facial features and expressions. Pattern, carving, and the addition of hand-built elements soon follow. Drying, bisque firing, applying underglazes and glazes - then back to the kiln for their second firing. Some get additional post-fire finishes, then their metal bits are added. Discarded machinery yields a treasure trove of metal bits that give her pieces their final quirky twist.
