Rose Cabat
Rose Cabat (b. 1914, New York City) is an American potter. She is known for her "feelies" — small, fine, narrow-necked porcelain pots with soft glazes that feel feathery to the touch. Cabat uses the formulation of the glaze by her late husband Erni, which produces brilliant purples, pinks, greens and a silky finish, hence the feelies' name. Her work has been honored in numerous retrospective museum shows and is highly sought after by collectors. She moved to Tucson in the early 1950s setting up a studio that is still in operation.

A day around the neighborhood, and a few of my favorite local shops, all within two blocks of home. Cradle of the Sun Stained glass from which I am still trying to work out the amazing glass components I purchased for a former project. Perhaps my next show. The 24th street cheese shop, which you can smell from two blocks away, and a local connection for Humboldt fog. The Antique Clock Repair, always on time. Just off the list, Tuggy's hardware store, they hate that I like the Dodgers, and Phoenix Books, specializing mostly in remainder and used stock. Also The Ark Toy Store, specializing in handmade old world favorites. Unfortunately, the neighborhood has lost 3 markets over the past 5 years, and two months ago the 30 year old Street Light Records. Remember to support your local shops. Without good cheese and music, we are in trouble.

Her works are created by burnishing the surface of the project, with smooth polished objects. She then adds slips, which are burnished again, then fired.
