I have found much inspiration from paging through magazines and books, hours of internet searches, Youtube views and following many ceramic artists who share their work and process on Instagram. I have had the privilege of taking workshops with such masters
as
Simon Leach,
Steven Hill
and
Deb Lecce, a
nd have found the time shared with them has dramatically informed my work. I am particulary drawn to the work of Lucy Rie and naively thought I could hop online and purchase one of her works. It's still a dream of mine to own one of her works, but as they sell for thousands of dollars, I will have to save up. In the meantime, it has been tremendously gratifying and enlightening trying to recreate pottery in the style of Lucy Rie, Simon Leach, Deb Lecce and others while discovering my own artistic voice.
