[ Art Gallery (Local Sales) ] [ Website ]

[ Liz Ribbe ] Liz was born in North Carolina where she began her love of art. She lived there until the age of 17 when she moved to Australia with her family and lived there for the next ten years. Liz sold her first painting, one of her watercolors displayed in her dad's grocery store, when she was just 10 years old. The family always made their own gifts and used natural objects such as acorns, clay, and fibers. She always took art classes offered in both grade and high school.

Education, Workshops and Classes

While attending Newcastle University in Newcastle, Australia, Liz majored in languages while still dabbling in the arts on the side. After moving back to the states, she took classes at the Salt Lake Art Center, working primarily in clay. She also taught children's classes for several years while there. She took many workshops from famous clay artists including Robin Hopper, Jim Stewart, Robert Bennett, Tom Marsh, and Ban Kajitani.

Since moving to Cottage Grove, she has taken jewelry classes at the U of O Craft Center and several workshops in Portland on silver clay jewelry. Liz's focus is in handbuilt and wheel thrown stoneware, mostly functional pieces, as well as several forms of jewelry making using silver clay, lapidary and wire wrapping.

Exhibitions

Liz has shown her works at the Salt Lake Art Center Gallery, many juried shows and craft fairs in the Salt Lake and Ogden area and has shown in a private gallery in Kaysville, Utah. Locally, Liz has shown in the Cottage Grove Art Guild Gallery, the Cottage Grove Art Guild Main Street Art Gallery, and Dave's Corner Market
