Ruth Briggs makes functional and decorative pottery. She uses a white base glaze that has a semi matt finish and decorates the white surface much in the way a painter uses white canvas. Her technique is called "Sponge Ware". Often she spatters, sponges, splashes, slips, spills and brushes the colored glazes onto the white surface of her pots.
