Maumelle’s Virgeen Healey and Ray Schott are the newest members of the Arkansas Craft Guild.
The married couple, seen below, are responsible for Cré Maith or Good Clay in Gaelic and were accepted into the guild at the 45th annual Christmas Showcase held earlier this month in Little Rock.
The pottery they make is seen below and can be used for most anything any dish would be used for as it is both functional and food safe.
Their pottery is described as being, “sculpted organically to reflect scenes you might see in Nature. Applied textures and sprigs, as well as unique glazing techniques help to define the floral aspect of their finished ceramic pieces.”
It will also be for sale at the Arkansas Craft Gallery in Mountain View.
“Taking pleasure in the 'Ordinary Miracles' of life, we create organic hand-built works celebrating the beauty of our earth,” they said. “Cré Maith attempts to express the 'Pockets of Joy' that going to the beach, catching fireflies, and running barefoot through meadows or shorelines bring into our lives. The clay medium allows us to get our hands dirty again with abandon. Our current body of work is organic in nature and we design with a focus on texture and layered colors. We endeavor to recreate what is seen and unseen in nature which is the origin of our design.”
The couple is relatively new to pottery as Healey started taking classes in ceramics in 2016. Her husband, Schott, followed soon after. They’re both members of the Arkansas Museum of Fine Arts Ceramics Department work study program and have works at the Historic Arkansas Museum Gift Shop in Little Rock and The Stone Maiden in North Little Rock.
A website is under development but you can also see their work at arkansascraftguild.org and on Facebook.com/cremaith.
Gallery hours in Mountain View are from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Tuesday through Saturday and for more information check out the sites above or call 870-269-4120.
