A year ago, I spent a month at the Vermont Studio Center as an artist-in-residence. Happily, my studio was next to the kiln and I was able start experiments in clay, playing with form and patterns. Back in Brooklyn, to continue, I began working at the Choplet Ceramic Studio in Williamsburg aquiring knowledge with their ceramic-making masters. A year later, clarity of thought transformed into cups, trays, pitchers, and vases, crude yet refined, with well-considered shapes, wall-thickness and handles, graphics and glazes.
