Cindy Weaver has been exploring and creating art in various media for the past thirty years. In 1996, she began to study pottery under Hiroshi Sueyoshi and Dina Wilde-Ramsing in Wilmington, NC. Within a short time, it was happily apparent that she had found her home in the mediums of porcelain and clay, and she continued her studies under them for four years. Although she is best known for her porcelain art vessels, she continues to work in white and brown clay as well, creating both art and functional pieces.

Ms. Weaver's works have won prizes in regional and national juried art shows and she has received art grants from the Arts Council of the Lower Cape Fear and the Arts Council of Fayetteville/Cumberland County. Her work is in the permanent collection at the University of North Carolina at Wilmington as well as corporate and private collections in the United States and Europe.

Ms. Weaver has taught pottery at Fat Cat Pottery, the Pancoe Education Center of the Louise Cameron Wells Art Museum, and continues to teach from her studio in Wilmington, NC.

Ms. Weaver’s works are available in Wilmington, NC at Louise Wells Cameron Art Museum Store, the Fayetteville Art Museum in Fayetteville, NC, the Umstead Hotel and Spa in Cary, NC, Sunset River Marketplace in Calabash, NC, and Montage Art & Design in Leland, NC.

Artist's Statement:

I would characterize my pottery as being organically inspired and calming to the senses. They reflect my feelings about the experience of personal growth; physical, mental and spiritual. I use asymmetric balance as an expression of the challenges of our lives, a reminder that we can keep our center and grow more uniquely beautiful as our own life story unfolds.

My technique typically involves either throwing and altering, or pinch work. In the process of experimenting with different clay bodies, I discovered an affinity for porcelain. I have a strong attachment to nature, so although I occasionally work with oxides, glazes and underglazes, it is my often my choice to finish a piece with terra sigillata, burnished with a river stone. Depending on the particular series being created, the work may be smoked after the burnishing or it may be left white.

I have achieved my goal when my vessels take on a personality of their own. I allow the forms to develop a story or personality, an almost human evolvement. Things happen in life. We are shaped by so many factors. As a result, we come into our own as unique individuals and my vessels reflect this process.
