I spent my childhood rambling through the forests and fields of Western Massachusetts where sneaking in to mills and abandoned buildings was a daily pastime. I have always been fascinated with the hand work of rural life - growing food, constructing tools and storage, and arranging dwellings to meet daily needs. I’m interested in how this work connects us with the land and with one another. I see ritual and devotion in this kind of living, and seek to visually communicate this connection in my daily practice using clay.
Ultimately, I’m interested in the slow, steady growth these connections can offer us on our journey. I am a 1988 graduate of Mt Ida College, where I studied Graphic Design, a 1995 graduate of Bennington College with a concentration in ceramics and fashion history. I have apprenticed with Ray Bub and Susan Nykiel of Oak Bluffs Pottery in Pownal, Vermont, taught ceramics at the Buxton School in Williamstown, MA from 1994-2002, and have taught in my private studio for 7 years. I have been making pots since 1989. Scroll below to learn more about mason hill clay studio. |
About Mason Hill Clay Studio
In October 2015, we launched an amazing Kickstarter campaign to help fund the new space. It's a whopping 3500 sq. ft., combining work space and residential facilities -complete with glaze lab, a kiln room, and space for future outdoor kilns on the first level. On the second floor, there's a full time apartment, three sweet, private rooms and a shared kitchen and bath for visiting artists. We're in the last stages of building with the studio up and running since April 2017.
The mission of the studio is to foster creativity through working with clay. The studio is light-filled, spacious, and lends itself to small groups for curious exploration and sharing. To learn more about the inspiration for Mason Hill Clay Studio, check out the video we made for our Kickstarter campaign in 2015. We've come a long way. We've hosted brilliant makers, both teachers and students. Our hope is to continue growing our programs by inviting the best and wisest teachers in the field. We believe that through this kind of learning and sharing we can make a positive difference in the world.
