Backlog Pottery 

Maggie Creshkoff lives on a farm in northern Maryland with far too many cats.

She studied American History at Antioch College, Ceramics at the Instituto Allende in Mexico, and moved to Maryland in 1982.

Stubbornly committed to using local clays, she is likewise dedicated to getting as many small children and adults as dirty as possible.

Same clay, same kiln. The possibilities with pottery are endlessly fascinating.

Maggie's new work can be seen at her upcoming craft fairs, at Studio 432 or at the Cecil County Arts Council at 135 E. Main Street in Elkton, MD.

Trashy Women

Maggie founded the Trashy Women in 2004, and continues to work with and write about that cunning collective of dumpster-diving divas. Come to the opening reception on Sunday August 24 in Bel Air, see new work from the TWs at Studio 432; and read all about them on the Trashy Women page!

MUSIC

Maggie currently plays baroque and Renaissance recorder with Lisa Davis, Masaaki Fujiki, Dina Goldberg-Strassler in Dr. Russell Murray, Jr.'s Collegium Musicum at the University of Delaware as well as with B-CARS, the  Brandywine Chapter of the American Recorder Society.
