Delores Fortuna divides her time between her studio in Galena, Illinois and teaching at the School of the Art Institute in Chicago.  She works in a high temperature gas reduction atmosphere kiln.  Her glazes are food safe, microwaveable and dishwasher stable.  She throws the pots on a potter’s wheel, and generally does a lot of altering of the work to finish it.  Her designs are fairly simple in a graphic design way.
