Angela Fina has been a full time, self supporting potter since  1979.  She works in high temperature porcelain specializing in  beautiful, colorful glazes.  The chemistry and formulation of glazes  has been her lifelong pursuit.  The themes in Angela's work are  simplicity of form and practical utility.  Most of her work is thrown  individually on the potters wheel, the rest being hand built from  slabs or extrusions.
Angela Fina makes pots for serving and eating food including  casseroles, teapots, all sorts of bowls and dinnerware and other  useful domestic ware. All are food safe..

Angela Fina also makes containers  for Ikebana flower arrangers as well as American style arrangers.   Angela continually researches the forms and colors these floral  artists need.

Angela Fina's work is sold at the Penland, NC Gallery;  the  Rochester, NY Art museum Shop; at P!NCH in Northampton, MA;  at the  Florabana booth at the Philadelphia Flower Show;  and at quality  craft fairs in the Northeast. Angela teaches workshops at all levels on throwing porcelain, and  on glazing and glaze formulation.  The list of her publications and  awards is in her resume.  A one hour documentary DVD of Angela is  available from NCECA.
