New Years Project
Hello Everyone!
Happy New Year! This year for my resolution I have given myself a bit of project. Similar to the mug of the month promotions places have going, I am doing a piece of the month plan. I have recently been thinking about how my home will look once Andrew and I start our lives together. What a better way to fill our home than with lovely, one of a kind, handcrafted, works of functional art! So how will it work??
Each month I have set aside a small budget to buy one piece of ceramic art. With that budget I'll attempt to slowly start filling our cabinets while also building a wonderful ceramic collection. Each month I'll try to get something different that falls under a certain category. (Ex: mug, plate, bowl, serving, etc...) I'm really excited for this and will post what piece I get every month, along with information on the artist who made it! So here we go!!

January Piece of the Month- Yunomi
Kristen Kieffer
I am very excited to have a Kristen Kieffer piece in my home finally! Kristen was my first real experience watching a ceramic artist demo their work (outside of class). I have always really loved her work and find great inspiration from both her work as well as her success as a studio potter. I really love this yunomi, it's perfect for milk or juice. I find myself rotating the cup in my hand in between sips to feel all the texture. The satin glaze in lovely to drink from and the shape fits my hand well. The amount of texture and depth in this piece keeps me starring at it every time I use it. Last, I just love how the glaze causes the piece to almost glow...Its just..splendid! :D
