Name: Patty Muenks
Role on the Board: Welcome Committee
Joined: 2017
Why: Strong desire to support and promote the arts in Missouri; to network and connect with other artists; to learn more and become a better artist in my field.
Other organizations: Greater St. Louis Art Association, Foundry Art Centre
Hobbies: hiking, crocheting, collage, reading, journaling, cooking, playing with my cats, and gardening
Medium: clay
Description of work: I work in hand building with clay, using pinch techniques and slab work, to create sculptural, organic forms as well as ceramic stones and boxes. I use a wide glaze palette of color tones and combinations with unique patterning and textures. My stoneware clay is predominately fired in electric kilns, but I recently began an exploration in raku firing.
