Worked at MacKenzie pottery for 9 years

Artist Statement "I make pots for use – bowls for soup or cereal, cups for tea or wine – all meant as much for the hand as for the eye. I am interested in the way a pot, hand held, seen close up, reveals itself: the rhythms of its making, the character of clay and glazes, the marks of fire as well as those subtle modulations of form that give a pot both its emotional content and its fitness for use."

Speedy deletion nomination of Shirley Johnson
A tag has been placed on Shirley Johnson requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a person or group of people, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for biographies.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding  to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that they userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you. - Realkyhick (Talk to me) 04:06, 12 August 2009 (UTC)
