Below is an EXTREMELY PARTIAL list of ceramic artists I have been looking at for quite some time.

Kari Radasch
Kari works in Maine, and she is basically my mentor in the ceramics world. Whenever I need advice or a good kick in the butt I give Kari a ring!

Ayumi Horie
Ayumi is basically the current Lady Gaga of ceramics at this moment. I took at workshop with her last year at Penland in North Carolina, and I have NEVER learned as much in two weeks as I did with Ayumi!
Michael Kline
Michael works in North Carolina near Penland, and his work is just amazing to say the least!
Kirsten Kieffer
Kirsten is a local working in western mass, and she has a hand that has such a touch on her porcelain forms that is just to die for! I have considered switching to porcelain because of her work.

Last but not least Molly Hatch
Molly is another Mass ceramics artist and I think her work especially her current work just speaks for itself.

A lot of these artists can be found on either Facebook, Twitter or both... and they can all be found on Etsy! I hope you have enjoyed taking a look at some of my idols in the ceramics world, and hope you take the time to take a close look at their work as well!
What a stunning list! Thanks for sharing these picks Arthur.
ReplyDeletei agree with jessica - these are all such talented artists, i want to buy everything of theirs!

ReplyDeleteI can't tell you how much I look at these people and admire what they do in all aspects of their career in ceramics. I hope to some day reach the stature that they all have. I'm glad so many of you enjoyed the post! I think I'll have to do another one on ceramic sculpture people.
