Noel Bailey

Waitsfield, VT

Website // Instagram // Facebook

Artist Statement:

“My work is influenced by the various forms and processes associated with water. Serene, fluid, and graceful forms abundant in vertical ice and water-carved rock coalesce into a resounding theme.”

Paul Briggs

Springfield, MA

Website // Instagram

Artist Statement:

“Nature makes no aesthetic mistakes, is a guiding principle of my pinched vessels. The transitions of form, relief design, and how the pieces engage space continually reach toward a flow of surface, texture and form of inspirational nature. Currently I'm cultivating a black orchid aesthetic.”

Bryan Czibesz

Website // Shop // Instagram

Artist Statement:

“I use stacks of hand-drawn lines and repeating patterns to invent volumes that explore the layers found in architecture and the landscape, and question our expectations of interior and exterior space.”

Bruce Dehnert

Maplecrest, NY

Website // Facebook

Artist Statement:

“Increasingly I'm interested in making work that inhabits a space between experimental and resolved. I am drawn to that realizing ‘yeah, there's something there’ and subsequently building on it. I think it's classic problem solving.”

Justin Donofrio

Fort Colins, CO

Website // Instagram

Artist Statement:

“Through the lens of functional pottery I focus on questions about our relationship with objects. Each vessel is made using clay that is colored to reference vibrant natural tones found in the wilderness.”

Sanam Emami

Fort Collins, CO

Website // Instagram

Artist Statement:

“As a student I was drawn to ceramics for its apparent connections with and veneration of ‘women’s work’. The deep history of clay seemed to reveal connections between women and the material, taking shape in depictions of domestic rituals and ancient fertility goddesses. This history of ceramics and its connections with slow, methodical work - less visible yet necessary for the survival of societies - has often been marginalized to the more dominant narratives of ceramics in 20th century art: one of heroic virtuosity and singular objects.”

Andrea Gill

Alfred, NY

Artist Statement:

“Pottery, whether the primary purpose is function or not, is an ideal arena for weaving together the dimensional and flat. Volume, structure, color, and pattern are the visual components, but historical models and contemporary issues affect the making process and meaning.”

Chris Gustin

Dartmouth, MA

Website // Instagram // Facebook

Artist Statement:

“I don't want my pots to conjure up a singular image for the viewer. By inviting the hand to explore the forms as well as the eye, I want to provoke numerous memories, recollection that has the potential to change from moment to moment, provoking connections that go past the intellectual to the innate.”

Maggie Jaszczak

Shafer, MN

Website // Instagram

Artist Statement:

“I make earthenware pots that draw on the quiet, minimal forms of basic function. Mostly white surfaces emphasize the subtleties of material and process as the primary decorative elements.”

Nick Joerling

Baskerville, NC

Website // Instagram // Studio Instagram

Artist Statement:

“I like the blue collar aspect of utilitarian pots: pots that do the everyday work of carrying, containing, delivering. But I like too pushing against those boundaries. In my own work I hope for qualities of sensuality, empathy, humor and risk.”

Website // Instagram // Facebook

Artist Statement:

“My work characterized by consistency, perfection, thoroughness, and handmade work, which emphasizes free will, randomness and casualness.”

I am inspired by centuries of traditional and contemporary culinary cultures, designing my cooking pots for simple practicality and elegance of form.”

Lindsay Oesterritter

Manassas, VA

Website // Instagram // Facebook

Virgil Ortiz

Cochiti Pueblo, NM

Website // Instagram // Facebook

Artist Statement:

“Virgil Ortiz releases a new character from his Revolt 1680/2180 saga— the Recon Watchmen—Ortiz envisions a dys¬topian future 500 years after the Pueblo Revolt in which time-travelers return to the era of the revolt to aid their ancestors.”

Aysha Peltz

Whitingham, VT

Website // Instagram // Facebook

Artist Statement:

“The process of pushing, bending, and ripping a freshly thrown form turn simple porcelain shapes into pots. These (plate, jars, vases, platters) hint at memories of terrain, flora, parched earth, a body in motion, or the imminent decay of something overripe.”

Sarah Pike

Fernie, BC

Website // Instagram // Facebook

Artist Statement:

“I am interested in haptic and visual experiences in the domestic realm and how textured and patterned pottery can enhance our sensual connection to object, to daily ritual, and to each other.”

Brenda Quinn

Ossining, NY

Website // Instagram // Facebook

Justin Paik Reese

Youngstown, OH

Website // Instagram

Artist Statement:

“My world is an exploration of my Korean heritage, blended with pop-culture references, architectural studies of Youngstown, Ohio, and fired in heavily reduced soda-atmospheres. I am currently fixated on the jar-form, continually searching for subtle changes that are celebrated with complex patterns/cutouts, juicy celadon glazes, and washed out carbon-trapped areas.”

Mark Shapiro

Worthington, MA

Rob Sieminski

Phillips, ME

Website // Facebook

Artist Statement:

“The Natural World radiates energy of all kinds...vibrant, profound and alive. My efforts at present are attempts to rub up against that energy, hoping to learn from it and then make it visible in some small quiet way…”
