The Black Pottery of Dona Rosa

 Black clay pottery was first created by Dona Rosa. She discovered that by using a unique clay blend consisting of volcanic ash. After the pottery was fired it was immediately polished with quartz resulting in a beautiful finish without glaze.  

Her technique has been passed on to her students, who, even after her passing in 1985, continue to create beautiful and elaborate pieces of fine pottery. Dona Rosa’s original artwork can be found in many galleries throughout the world and the acquisition of the pottery of her apprentices brings much satisfaction
