When I first saw Jeanne Opgenhaffen’s work I immediately though she had to be about my age. I have no idea why I thought this – maybe I just connected with the pieces or the colors, or the tonality but I was very surprised to learn that Jeanne was actually born in 1938, making her […]

I’m pretty sure Niharika Hukku is another Pinterest find – there are so many incredible boards over there that I discover everyday. I was drawn to her work because of the woven qualities, the fact that they’re in one of my favorite materials, and because they’re monochromatic. As she says of her own pieces in this […]

Valerie Zimany’s work incorporates many elements that I love – they’re largely made of porcelain, she creates multiples from the same mold and manipulates those repetitions, and she uses her molds til they break down – turning memories into faded ones.

I love porcelain, but within the porcelain family there is a sub-category of bone china, which I think is even finer quality from a material standpoint. Chris Wight, who I learned about from the awesome blog, Murmure Visible, works with bone china to create amazing table art pieces that push the boundaries of the material […]

I love spiky weird things and Ikuko Iwamoto’s ceramics fit the bill both in her functional pieces as well as her sculptures like the ones below that look like growths. Ikuko works in porcelain, a favorite material of mine for its lightness. How cool are her wall installations? They look like they’re growing and alive, […]

Every so often everyone has one of “those” days – today was one of them for me and as a treat to me I’m salvaging it with an end of day post of beautiful porcelain work by Valeria Nascimento who self-describes her work as, “about repetitive sequencing with separate elements to form a cohesive sculptural […]

Two years ago here on this blog I wrote about Heather Knight who makes phenomenal porcelain tiles inspired by natural elements from her studio, Elemental Clay. Jennifer Prichard works out of her studio in Austin, TX, J Prichard also making textured porcelain tiles but taking it to a new level with amazing wall installations as well. […]
