Siiri Doan

“Born and raised in the Twin Cities, I got my start in clay while I was a student at Pacific Lutheran University in the early 1990s.

I gravitate toward pots with simple forms. I enjoy a variety of firing techniques including gas reduction, raku, and soda. Most of my work is high-fired stoneware with designs drawn on the surface with layers of glaze. My decorations also include texture imprinted with stamps that I’ve made myself. I seek out and celebrate variations in surface quality and color in my work. Recently I’ve challenged myself by trying to see how many pots I can fit into the updraft kiln at the Edina Art Center.

I’ve been active in Edina Art Center’s pottery program since 1999. You can see me and my work at several local art fairs each year.”
