Julie Brooke, the “Scottish Potter”, has been making a living out of clay for nearly three decades, and she has been a specialist in the demanding discipline of crystalline glazed porcelain for more than 10 years. While Julie has been known to hyperventilate while unloading crystal pots from her electric kiln, she derives equal parts pleasure from spying blood red reduction glazes as she cracks the door on her propane kiln. She is also known for her brushwork with glazes. Brooke had a solo show of crystalline-glazed porcelain at the MOA gallery in the Melrose district of Los Angeles.
