The Mudslinger, Julie Engler, makes refined, unique vessels, one layer at a time. Building with coils is a basic hand building technique but she has honed her skills so that her pots are like no others. Engler builds voluminous pots with very thin coils – pots that are light weight with a warm and natural texture. Her works are reminiscent of a cave swift’s nest, a mud dauber’s work, or the layers of sediment on a riverbed.
