Pottery and Paintings
SUANNE
MUEHLNER
Suanne Muehlner has worked in ceramics for more than 30 years and is an
advisor at the Colby College pottery studio. Primarily a functional potter,
she is constantly exploring new techniques and designs to create fresh
and interesting work. Summer months are spent experimenting with raku,
horse hair design, and other low fire techniques. Results are fascinating:
they are immediate, unpredictable, random, endlessly variable and unique.
MEADER STONEWARE
Nancy Meader has been a professional potter for more than forty years.
She teaches the pottery January course at Colby College and has been in
numerous exhibitions including at Colby, the University of Maine, and
Unity College. Her stoneware pottery is mainly functional and is glazed
in earth tones and blues. She also makes raku pots. The functional ware
is lead free, dishwasher-safe and can be put in the microwave.
ABBOTT MEADER
Abbott Meader is the son of Albion, Maine parents and husband of potter
Nancy Meader. His work in painting, drawing, and film has been exhibited
widely during a career spanning 50 years. The work at Riverside Farm Market

Colby College.

Albion, Maine. He studied anthropology and primitive art at the University
of Maine and the University of Arizona. He lived for many years in southern
