| "I consider myself fortunate to spend my adult life making mud pies and setting fires, part of a tradition I cherish. To me, pots seem like seeds sown long ago which germinate and grow at unexpected times and in unexpected places. They emerge from the kiln, transformed, reflections of my own passage."
Ginny Marsh
Ginny Marsh, married to Tom Marsh, worked as a collaborative since their marriage in 1968. Ginny received her undergraduate in Art from DePauw University and her MFA from Ohio State University. She taught ceramics for twenty years at the University of Louisville.
She and her husband Tom lived in southern Indiana where they built and designed their home, studio, showroom, and several barns. They worked on this organic subsistence farm and where dedicated to caring not only for the family but also the land, gardens and livestock while also restoring abused land to health, in part by planting some 800 trees to protect an existing woodland.
Tom once commented on his work: "my work has never experienced any sudden or dramatic change of direction. When there has been growth, it has been a slow evolutionary nature. If there has been one overriding tendency from the beginning, it has been the desire to distill, to eliminate the superfluous, to abstract down to the elemental".
Tom passed away in 1992 and Ginny moved back to Texas in 2000.
