Thomaston, ME

Artist Statement:

"I balance curves, volume, and proportion to create complex yet clean forms that invite one to slow down and notice the subtleties of form, surface, and function. Inspiration is found in the luminosity of porcelain, the beauty of my coastal surroundings, and historical ceramics.”

Fort Collins, CO

Website // Instagram

Artist Statement:

“My work is a bridge between historical pots created along the ancient trading routes of the silk road that spanned the Asian continent and my practice as a studio potter in the 21st century living and working in the Mountain West of the United States.

The clay pieces hold an exploration of time and space, an inquiry into living between cultures, a search for something just out of reach.”

Artist Statement:

"Attention to the cycles of weather, tectonics, life, and labor that shape the earth define my studio process and pottery. Handmade pots remind us of the ground beneath our feet and the geologic underpinnings of reality: integral to our daily rituals, and transcendent of them."

Artist Statement:

"Using a dark red clay adorned with a subtle slip surface, I strive to emphasize a sense of history, revealing the raw beauty of the vessel underneath. Finishing the work in atmospheric kilns gives each piece a soft simple exterior, enhancing what already exists in the pot."

Whitingham, VT

Website//Instagram//Facebook

Artist Statement:

"I believe most good pots, whether functional or not, conjure up associations beyond practical use. The forms I make reference utility and stir emotions; their familiarity creates an invitation to explore further. To accentuate their organic, naturalistic qualities, I fire the work under fluid, translucent glazes, which preserves “moments” in the fired clay. My pleasure in making these pieces comes from losing myself in their surfaces and imagining myself in their landscape; a journey in which references become allusions."

Seattle, WA

Artist Statement:

“I’ve been inspired by work as varied as the medieval folk ceramic traditions of Europe, the ancient decorative impulse in Iran, where adornment of everyday life is the impetus. I’ve drawn from them all, in decorative motif and in sheer physicality. Patterns of animal habitats and plant forms inspire some of my surface decoration decisions.”

Artist Statement:

I aim to make celebratory pottery.  I use color as a metaphor for joy. I pluck nostalgic observations from life and reassemble and reimagine them onto and into my work. I am compelled to make dishes because of the warm, sentimental place they inhabit in our lives.

"Making things that are useful and perhaps beautiful is a basic human endeavor. When those things are made of clay it's particularly satisfying--as if something has been made from practically nothing. The transformation from raw earth to pot is magic every time."
