the holy family

Equipped with a magnificent rolling pin, one small kiln, 100 lbs of clay, along with a road map of
the south, directing me to local shows, Burk art began operations in 1991.

But before I could leave town I needed a plan...  How did you get started, is frequently asked.
The Garden influence developed, what I refer to as "Spring Time Sue", Or Nature's Collage.
Christmas another grand season, moved right into the studio once the garden was done. Spring
time Sue then became Autumn Sue making Nativities.      


AUTUMN SUE
The CLAY Nativity Scene features textures made from antiques and other family treasures
that span 5 generations and 3 continents.  Each piece of the 20+ set has been textured by a
specific treasure. This Holiday Season the instrumental CD Musical Magi joins the line up.
The nativity is made year round, naturally fall is our busiest season for the nativity.
SPRINGtime Sue  and  Nature's Collage

I use petals and other objects found in mother nature's garden  to create the textures for
Nature's Collage. Soft delicate glazes are brushed in to each  petal's impression, making
each piece unique.

View CLAY Nativity Scene for the full story. Then view Musical Magi for a dose
of relaxed, holiday containment set to sound.  Click on merry gentlemen for sound.           
Merry gentlemen is my favorite..it has a new age jazz twist, fun any season.
