Betty Woodman created this piece called the "Pillow Pitcher" in 1983. She began her career as a potter making functional wares, but moved toward a more decorative and expressive style in the 1970s.
This piece is one of my favorites that I have looked at throughout the semester. The vibrant colors really drew me into this piece and the colors just gave off a liveliness energy. Woodman individualizes each of her unusual pots by designing different spouts and handles. In this pillow pitcher, the spout is simultaneously short and elongated, complementing the horizontal form. I just think it is so beautiful and this style is something that I would love to incorporate in my home.
