Rose Cabat found her passion at age 42. Her husband was very supportive. Her husband made her wheel out of a junked-washing machine motor. For over a decade, she made earthenware or stoneware clay bells, wind chimes, casserole dishes, bowls, planters, and other functional ware she sold at craft fairs. Rose and her husband eventually experimented with crystalline glazes, and together created "feelie glaze", known for its silky smoothness. For the next 40 years, she created small porcelain vessels: delicate, rounded vase forms with tiny, narrow necks with jewel-like colors. I love the use of the "feelie glaze" in the above picture. The colors flow very nicely together, and the bottom reminds me of a geode, a type of rock.
