An Early Cup Made by Jennica When She Was a Child
WHAT DO YOU DO NOW TO DEVELOP YOUR DREAMS?
My studio is at my job basically ,so I don’t leave when I’m done my work. I try to get there early too, I’m not a morning person necessarily but I get there half an hour early or an hour early and work on things a little bit and cover them back up with plastic. For me it’s all about being in the studio and having that piece that I’m working on in my face. I just got to to the next thing on it.
WHAT IS A DREAM PROJECT FOR YOU?
If I could do anything. Since I’m working in architectural subjects now I really would love to interfere with public spaces, buildings, that sort of thing.
BOOK RECOMMENDATION
Daniel Rhodes Clay and Glazes for the Potter
NAME FOR ME A POTTER THAT COMPLETELY INSPIRES YOU.
I’ve met so many fantastic potters. There are some whose work is so fantastic, but they’ve lived three times as long as me. So I just have to be patient. But for their process I have to say I really like Sarah Heimann’s work. She was a material technician at Northern Clay Center. She lives in Vermont now and teaches at Dartmouth College.
