Rebecca Wood

Athens, GA

Rebecca Wood, 70, is a self taught potter. In 1991 she founded R.Wood Studio, where she created a line of popular terra cotta tableware with simple shapes and sumptuous colors. 33 years later, r.wood studio is still producing, with 7 employees and a large fan base. In 2003, Rebecca was invited to be in a show called ‘Perspectivesʼ, an exhibit of fifty Georgia potters. There she learned about the wide world of pottery and all the ways to make it, and became fascinated with wood firing. For the last 20 years, she has created wood fired vases that are fired in the kilns of Geoff Pickett and Lori Breedlove in Farmington and Watkinsville, Georgia.
