Fired Works 2020 Featured Artist: Holly Polich
Holly Polich makes ceramics out of her home studio in Roswell, GA. When she’s not making pots, she can often be found riding a tandem road bicycle with her husband, Rich. Sometimes their dog Millie rides along on the back of the bike, too.
Her prior education is in fine arts and textile sciences, where she has both a Bachelor of Fine Arts and a Master of Science, and her first career was as a textile designer for US textile manufacturing.
She was first inspired to make pottery when she fell in love with 19th century food storage crocks. Over the past few years, she has been focused on developing glaze recipes and techniques that create durable and unique surfaces.
A link to her website can be found here.
