Becki Henderson-Gow

Becki Henderson-Gow – Pottery


Becki creates functional stoneware pottery in her personal studio, Red Salamander Pottery located in northwest Ashe County in the small Creston community. She studied Ceramics at Winthrop University where she received her MAAED in Art. Over the years she has attended workshops at Arrowmont School of Arts and Crafts, Penland School of Crafts, Shakerag and completed a variety of online workshops. Red Salamander Pottery is proud to be part of the Blue Ridge Crafts Trail.

Education has always held an important role in her life. She taught art in the public schools for over 25 years. She teaches private students and short workshops in her studio. She frequently teaches pottery classes for adults at various studios in the area. She has always had a strong desire to work in clay. The feel and movement of the clay in her hands provides a sense of freedom to create pots that are beautiful and  functional.

Her creations are made on a pottery wheel using stoneware clay and finished with a variety of colored slips and glazes. Being surrounded by the natural beauty of the Appalachian Mountains, she uses the peaceful atmosphere this area provides as a means to gather inspiration for her work. The colors, textures and lines of the mountainous landscape have a strong influence on her thoughts, often resulting in unique color combinations and patterns.
