Mitch and Michelle Deaderick
Raven figures in Native mythology, sometimes as a sacred messenger carrying secret messages from spiritual dimensions – but also as a symbol of profound wisdom. Michelle Deaderick has been creating raven sculptures for 10 years, since she imagined a raven with wild hair playing a fiddle. Her ravens are enhanced with feathers, charms, jewels, sticks and found objects. The latest, “Raven Woman,” is a work in progress, under the tutali Gary Cooley in Sisters. She hopes to take this piece some day from clay to bronze.

 Her work, along with that of her potter husband Mitch, is featured this month at Sisters Gallery and Frame Shop.

 Mitch Deaderick stepped up to the pottery wheel as a high school student and never looked back. He trained with Beatrice Wood in his hometown of Carpentaria, CA and at Santa Barbara State, then taught at the Santa Barbara Arts Center before moving to Sisters in 1978. His mugs, bowls, and serving dishes are glazed and fired with extreme care and remain durable for daily use for decades.

 He and Michelle met at the Sisters Rodeo 45 years ago and have made a career of turning clay into fun and functional objects together ever since.
