Wildflower, Theresa
Theresa Wildflower was unique among potters as her specialty was miniatures. She would create miniature masterpieces which were to scale (1" = 1') and "half-scale" ( 1/2" = 1'). While she no longer makes pottery, her pieces are amazing for the variety of their styles and the intricacy of the painting.
