Karen is really an eclectic artist and has loved all types of arts and crafts throughout her life.  She
has dabbled in basic drawing, basic watercolor, batik, candle making, copper tooling, linoleum
block printing, flower design, hypertufa creations, and concrete sand castings, but her first love is
ceramics and pottery.

An Ohioan her entire life, Karen Feltham had lived in  Ashland, Canfield, Kent, Dublin and
Delaware before settling in Rushsylvania with her husband George.  She ended up in Logan County
in 2000 when she and her husband completed construction on their “retirement home” which
included Karen’s “studio” and also lots of land to indulge in her other love…gardening. Within a
few years of moving to Logan County, Karen retired from her profession as an occupational
therapist. Now she also had time to dedicate to her artistic and gardening interests.

As she dedicated more time to artistic interests, she had a desire to engage with other artists in
the area, so she joined the Logan County Art League and quickly took on leadership roles within
the organization. She also took on leadership roles as a Master Gardener, and within a county
Ohio Association of Garden Clubs gardening group.   It was from other gardeners that she learned
the basics of how to make concrete sand casting, as well as hypertufa sculpture.  She continues
the explore the wide expanse of the ceramics world, and also continues to “dabble” in other arts
activities. The photos are representative some of her projects since 2020.
