Light Bird Crafts
Hand crafted ceramics, primarily food-focused functional wares. Most of my work is slip casted porcelain from handmade molds, and then hand-painted with underglaze. My designs are inspired by nature and the places I have visited.

Lynette Rodriguez
Lynette Rodriguez earned a degree in Criminal Justice and after working in a related field this unconventional path led her to the arts. She went on to graduate from Tyler School of Arts with a Bachelors of Fine Arts a focus in the Ceramic Arts. Her status as an art student however began at The University of the Arts where she discovered that though she was finally pursuing an art degree perhaps Animation was not the route to go. With a transfer to Tyler came her discovery of clay as a medium. Lynette expanded her experience through an internship with professional artist Chad D. This internship allowed her to develop and expand her ceramic knowledge through design in 3D software. She was also trained in the operation of a milling machine for mold making. Through sculptural hand built forms her work focuses on detailed patterning and abstract forms inspired by nature.
