Ceramic Artists: Dave and Suzanne Enna by Urngarden.com
 

Urngarden Ceramic Artists After graduating college, Suzanne, a Vermont native, met David, an Oregon native, in England in the late '60's. They eventually married, and with a common interest in pottery, took up an apprenticeship under an English master potter.

In 1971 they returned to the States and set up shop in Oregon. Twenty-eight years ago they moved to their current location in a forested setting adjoining the National Forest on the western slope of Mt. Hood, in Oregon.

The Enna's ceramic art is shown in several galleries in the Northwestern United States. Each summer they travel to Japan for a showing of their work.

 

 

The original of all our shapes are thrown, molds of the shape are made, and subsequent shapes are cast. The cast shape is refined on the potters wheel, dried and low fired prior to glaze application and decoration.

Since the early '80s we have been airbrushing scenes on urns. For this technique we cut stencils and profiles from original drawings out of a clear plastic material. Stencils are used for all the animals. Complicated images are achieved using multiple stencils on one image. Profiles are used to create the mountains, trees and grass. When decorating the urn, colors are first freehand airbrushed, the background is built up using profiles. Finally, the animal or flower images are added using stencils. The final decorated urn is high fired (2400° F.) in either a gas or electric kiln.
