McHarp represents the collaborative efforts of Texas mother-daughter team of Ruth McNay and Linda Harp. Ruth has been in the pottery business for about 30 years and is known for her interesting wall sculpture. Her daughter, Linda, has a Master's Degree in Anthropology and "the artistic gift of generations." She travels yearly to the British Isles and Ireland, where she researches the ancient stone carvings, bringing back the lore of each cross and pictures, from which her mother first hand carves the design in clay and then creates a mold. The "McHarp" team creates between 6 and 12 new cross designs each year.
