Marcia Merrins opens her artist’s statement with the sentence, “when I make something with my hands, I put my heart into it too.” Merrins, a ceramicist who works and sells pottery as Kniti Griti Works, is passionate about process. Her pieces display at least three firing processes – wood firing, traditional Japanese Raku firing, and contemporary electric kiln firing – used for distinct ‘product lines’ of ceramics.
