Ceramic artist Betty Woodman, identified with pillow pitcher ceramic forms, started her production life as a craftswoman. The
artist, who developed her production practices with the traumatic event she experienced afterwards, the effect of the art movements
of the period, as well as the change of her thoughts about the material and what it can express; She was the first living female artist
and ceramicist to hold a solo exhibition at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. Pillow pitchers have a very important place in the
artist's point of view. These forms, which have become the signature of Woodman over time, have a very important place at the
point she has reached, as they are the first form she produced out of the production of functional ceramics. At the same time, being
influenced by the pattern and decoration movement with her contemporaries and being the first woman to take part in a male-
dominated ceramic community played an important role in Woodman's artistic process. Based on all this background, the forms
used in her works, vivid colors and the way she evaluates the surface; It reminds the freedom in ceramics of artists working in
different disciplines such as Picasso, Miro and the like. Although the artist learned ceramics like a craftswoman, she somehow
managed to leave behind the conservative attitude of the material at that time and managed to produce freely as if she came from
another discipline.
