Ok, it’s gonna get Arty over here.
I graduated with my BFA in Ceramics in 2010. That was nine years ago. The thing is, 2010 was the last time i was in “regular studio practice.” My work was unified. It was polished. I had a perspective. I knew what I wanted to say and how wanted to say it. —Nine years later, I’m a different person. My perspective has changed. I’ve changed. The world has changed.
I’ve been in my studio formulating different colored clay bodies and glazes. I don’t have access to a gas kiln so I’ve lowered my firing temperature. I’m learning the quirks of new clays. Trying new glazes. New techniques. -But i’ve been making my old work- mostly because I figured it’s the best place to start- and it just doesn’t feel right.
So I’ve made a decision. I’m going to slow down. I’m not going to throw ten cups and make ten robots. I’m going to throw a few forms, trim them, and finish them. Then I’m going to do it again. And again. Maybe the same form, maybe another. Maybe teapots! Teapots for days! - I’m definitely going to make a few larger scale robots- because there are some things I want to explore there. But other than that, I’m just going to experiment. I’m going to throw things at the wall and see what sticks.
Shop updates will likely be few and far between. I can take requests/ pre-orders for holiday gifts if you’d like- just based on things you’ve seen me make. Shoot me an email or dm on insta/ fb.
And if you see things in my feed that are a little different and you like it or don’t like it- let me know. One of the hardest things about making art at home is that you don’t get any feedback. Help me out, fam!
