Studio #22
Come and see new pastel and ink works inspired by cruises and trips to Spain, China, and Japan, including perhaps the largest drawings in this area (up to 42" x 108" wide!). There are also landscapes from the west, New England, and Canada. There are small, affordable works of about a foot square to mural-sized works.
My works are deceptively simple: the lines are finely honed to the bare essentials, and then multi-colored pastels are layered up to 20 times and then rubbed to produce just the right effect.

Shana Brautigam has worked as a potter and teaching artist at Rooted in Clay studio since 2003. Her work focuses on creating hand-built, wood-fired pottery with leaf imprints and other natural textures. In addition to functional pottery, Shana makes hanging sculptures and musical instruments.
“Using only my hands, I can shape a handful of wet earth into a vessel, meant to be used in daily life. Harnessing the flames in my kiln, I can transform the clay into beautiful and durable functional pots. The timelessness and simplicity of this process is what first drew me to clay decades ago. I aspire to bring the beauty of nature into homes, and enrich lives by creating work that brings joy throughout one’s daily routines and rituals.”
