Look at this! I just stumbled over this advertising page, in the latest Ceramics Monthly. And I stopped reading, stopped breathing, and my eyes popped. Ooh!
This is a response to art, to the pure beauty of the thing. It's marvelous, the form, the thoughtful asymmetry, the contained looseness, the organic references, the quiet of it. Oh, and the technical quality.
Who would check if it is a functional pot? But that is what she makes, and the function matters to her. Even better.
It is in all ways to my taste, checks all my aesthetic boxes.
And then I like her attitude towards making pottery (quotes from her website):
"My interest in the vessel is rooted in its relationship to the body...getting dirty is important."
"I have always liked the connection to the history of makers that ceramics affords."
"My fascination with forms in nature and the everyday...nature of pottery provides me with the inspiration for a quiet meditation on the beauty of simple things."
Yes!! Check it out. katetremel.com
