Roberta received her BA from
Comell University. She studied drawing, painting, design and anatomy at
the School of Visual Arts and the Arts Students League in NYC. She got her
MA from Columbia University in Painting and Art Education.
Roberta took her first ceramics class from Elsbeth Woody while getting
her Masters in painting and art education at Columbia University and with
some other potters built a catenary arch cross-draft kiln in upstate New
York. She moved to London in 1972 and worked as a studio potter in ceramics
studios there. She was introduced to Bernard Leach at his retrospective at
the V&A Museum. He asked her about her work and said, "Have fun!"
In the 70's, Roberta was in and out of San Diego. She took glaze chemistry
at the USCD Craft Center and fired at Rhoda Lopez's Clay Dimensions. She
moved here in 1979.
She has a small studio where she works in porcelain and stoneware
producing what she hopes is well-crafted, handsomely designed functional
ware and individual pieces. Form and subtle surface interest her. She enjoys
making pots that give a little bit of pleasure in daily life
