Know for her innovative effigy like pottery and bas-relief ceramic plaques, Georgia Blizzard brings out the natural color of the clay by firing it first in an electric kiln to harden its delicate surfaces and then in a open pit in a manner similar to that used by American Indians. Georgia's method of firing her work may be related to folk traditions, but no other potter working today has shown more ability to capture moods and express such a sharp personal vision through this medium. Georgia is not very prolific, but her work represents one-of-a-kind pieces that demand, and receive, higher prices than the traditional effigy jugs. Collectors of pottery, particularly southern or Native American pottery, seek out her unique work despite its price. In 1994 Georgia Blizzard was featured in a traveling exhibition, "Georgia Blizzard: Southern Visionary" and her pottery is in the permanent collections of several museums. Georgia passed away in 2002.
