Montessori principal, homeopathic doctor and ceramic artist describe the three careers that Sandra Wyner has chosen to challenge and inform her life.

When Sandra was working in clay she pushed the medium in two novel and ground breaking directions. Always confining herself to functional forms she first created deeply folded vessels only to next venture in the opposite extreme sculpting sharp edged forms that became her distinctive trademark. This piece is influenced by the Art Deco and Art Nouveau period.
