Elsa Rady

Elsa Rady is one of the most influential contemporary ceramicists of our time.  I see her influence in the work of such potters as Sophie Cook, Sara Paloma and Jeff Nimeh, to name just a few. Her work is one of the reasons for my almost fanatical obsession with pottery.  Perhaps best known for her Cycladic Swing, Rady's vases and bowls are typified by incredible balance and an uncanny ability to defy gravity, which evidences her skill.
