Meet the Book Club Queen

Introducing the "Book Club Queen" sculpture by Linda Lewis, a stunning piece that captures the essence of community, connection, and the joy of shared stories.

The sculpture is handmade in West Des Moines, Iowa, showcasing her deep connection to her craft and the stories she wishes to tell.

Artistic Mastery and Themes

Each piece by Linda Lewis is a narrative in itself, exploring common themes such as love, parenthood, family, and the quest for fulfillment. Her sculptures are not just figures; they are stories told through facial expressions, head tilts, and the shifting of stances. The texture of the surface and the use of symbols all contribute to the rich storytelling. Titles like "The Harassed Housewife" or "Daydreaming" further enhance the narrative, inviting viewers to engage with the art and the stories it holds.

Unique Techniques and Inspiration

The "Book Club Queen" sculpture is crafted using Linda's signature slab building technique, with a combination of glazes, slips, terra sigillatta, oxides, and overglazes. This results in a unique glazing process that creates a beautiful crazing or crackling effect on the surface, reminiscent of raku-fired ceramics. The overglaze is carefully applied and then sprayed off, allowing the black colorant to settle into the cracks, giving the piece a distinctive and captivating appearance. Linda's inspiration comes from her own life experiences, as well as the stories she listens to in her everyday life, making each piece deeply personal and relatable.
