Dana Randall first became interested in pottery through an art class at Cal Poly while studying for her teaching credential. Later, between teaching school and raising her children, she participated intermittently in pottery classes that included both wheel-throwing and hand-building techniques. When she and her husband retired and moved to the Central Coast, she became more serious about her passion for ceramics. Although Dana loves to make usable pieces that bring art into the everyday, she is currently branching into more decorative and sculptural pieces. Her goal is to continue her exploration of clay and what it can do. She’s drawn to forms and colors seen in nature, rocks, sea, and sky.
