Linda Ross
Linda Ross a native of Burlington, Iowa has always had her heart and
hands in the arts. At an early age throwing clay on the wheel became
her first love. At age sixteen she was given her own pottery wheel.
Eager to learn in school, she became an art assistant and continued her
education at SCC and Iowa State University. She graduated from the
College of Design at ISU with an emphasis in ceramics.
Upon marrying her love Kevin, he created a small studio to put that
wheel in! With much trial and error Chestnut Hill Pottery emerged.
Raising their two girls Linda had one hand in the slip bucket with the
other in the laundry. The art show circuit became an outlet for her
wares. Her clientele grew and the studio expanded to include a glaze
room, kiln area and show room. Today the studio consists of several
electric kilns and a gas fired kiln.
Fast forward, the kids headed to college and in 2009 Linda opened
The Artisans Next Door in Fort Madison, Iowa at 616 7th Street, which
is adjacent to The Ivy Bake Shoppe, now known as The Apron Bake
Shoppe and Cafe. Throwing pots to pay for the educations has been
an endeavor all its own. She is a big believer in “shop small and shop
local.” “Indeed, it does help to put a kid through college.”
Now it’s Linda time. In 2013 she had a solo show in Fairfield, Iowa at
the Steven Sondheim Center. A self proclaimed “mudder,” nothing
pleases her more than time at the old wheel. Continuing education is
a top priority; she pursues new interests with a soda firing workshop
by Brad Schweiger and is inspired by artists Pete Pinelle and Margaret
Bohls. She wood fired with the notable Bede Clarke and most recently
she took a wheel thrown sculpture class by Gerit Grimm. Wood Fire
Potter, Linda Christianson shared her handle-techniques and Joe Pintz’s
hand building has created a love for the simple life. It is the cumulative
learning that has made her the potter she is. Linda looks forward to
the 50th National Council on Education for the Ceramic Arts in Kansas
City (NCECA) held in March 2016 that will stir new creativity.
An intuitive potter, Linda goes with the ebb and flow of life looking
forward to future endeavors. The large gas kiln has allowed her to
explore reduction and ash-glazes that utilizes ashes from the warmth of
long Iowa winters … Kevin partners in the firing of that beast. Maybe
someday a wood fired kiln?
The art circuit for Linda has slowed. She participates in Snake Alley
Art Fair in Burlington, IA in conjunction with Steamboat Days. In the fall
she gathers with other artists at Walnut Grove Farm in Knoxville, IL. She
loves public interaction and looks forward to selling all her new wares,
so she can mud even more!

About the Art Center
The Fort Madison Area Arts Association (FMAAA) was
chartered in 1979, and started in the home of Ruth and
Dale Newberry for working artisans in the area to engage
in art workshops and share their joy of creating fine art.
Since then the FMAAA has been housed in many areas
of Avenue G and , including eight years in the renovated
Burlington Northern depot. The organization loved the
depot location and spent a great deal of money on capital
improvements to the facility. However after the flood,
the difficult decision was made to leave the depot. The
FMAAA now resides at 825 Avenue G and is open from
Tuesday-Saturday from 10:00-5:00.
As the FMAAA enters a new era, the member artisan
gallery boasts over 70 to 90 regional artists, giving the
unit a strong variety of mediums and styles. The Place
of Fire, our modern glaze studio, is housed in a separate
room at the rear of the consignment gallery. This studio is
available for birthday parties, badge attainment for Girl
Scout troops, and the daily hands-on usage of creating
your own one-of-a-kind dishware or figurines. The monthly
feature exhibition continues to bring the best artists to
the Ft. Madison stage. Annual events have always been a
strong suit for the organization, continuing such mainstays
as the Annual Garden Tour and Art-in-Central Park, while
advancing new initiatives such as Art~ssippi and the FM
Ghost Hunt. The FMAAA encourages new membership as
it is a funding stream which aids the organization’s goals. At
this time the Expressions Art Auction continues to be the
main funding mechanism for the organization. Thank you
for supporting this event.
