Paragon Dragon
As a child, Earline Green made hand-stitched
quilts with her grandmother Mama Freddie. Earline
spent more time quilting with the older ladies than
she did playing with children her own age. Her early
experiences with the lively quilters taught her a
life-long love of artwork.
Earline’s other grandmother, Mama Ginger,
taught her advanced quilting patterns. Later this influenced the design of Earline’s stoneware quilt tile
mosaics displayed in the entrance of the Paul
Laurence Dunbar Lancaster-Kiest Library in Dallas, Texas. For that project, Earline fired 284 white
stoneware tiles—all in her faithful Paragon Dragon.
“The Dragon's design and controls are perfect
for firing large flat pieces,” said Earline. “The digital
programming controls provide a consistent firing
environment that eliminated cracks and warpage in
this project.
“During tile production, I fired my Dragon two
or three times a week for four to six weeks at a time.
I expected and received excellent results with each
firing.”
