Linda Johnson is the artist behind Little Flower Designs in Abington. Linda creates “sweet, lovely, handmade” ceramic pieces that are both whimsical & functional.
I create nature-inspired dinnerware and home accessories using both wheel-thrown and hand-built forms. I then etch/draw my designs into the surface which creates a nice texture and depth to the piece. The glazes are applied in a series of washes much like watercolor to enhance the etched details. All of my work is food safe and non-toxic.
My focus on clay began after achieving my BFA in sculpture. I worked for a handmade tile studio as a tile glazer and fell in love with the owner’s lifestyle and clay. I had dabbled in clay a bit in college but this was the first time I saw firsthand how an artist could make a living from their craft. I started working in clay right away and took classes all over the Philadelphia area. After a few years, I decided to set up a home studio which I’ve been working in since about 2001 – in 2004 I decided to launch Little Flower Designs.
In the coming year, Linda plans to concentrate on the retail side of her business & grow her wedding registry!
