“Working in historic Tidewater, Virginia, for more than thirty years, Erickson has intensively studied the technology and history behind the ceramics used by the American colonists in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. Her efforts have rewarded her with a toolkit of technical skills representing three hundred years of potting traditions and a loyal following of ceramic collectors familiar with Anglo-American decorative arts. She is a proficient chemist, working in a wide range of earthenware, stoneware, and porcelain bodies and glazes, and has successfully applied these skills to her diverse contemporary work.”

MUGXIT: PURPLE REIGN 2020
Wheel thrown tin glazed white stoneware with hand painted metallic oxide slip decoration.
This 21st century take on a 17th century English Delftware portrait mug of
William and Mary in the Colonial Williamsburg Foundation Collection was inspired by the momentous decision of Harry and Meagan to leave their roles as British Royals in 2020. The day this piece came out of the kiln the cover of the Sun Times in London captured the moment coining the term MUGXIT!
