Ryan Greenheck and Nick Joerling @ Santa Fe Clay

Until May 26th
Ryan Greenheck and Nick Joerling are two functional potters who will share the gallery at Santa Fe Clay this spring.
Ryan Greenheck’s work combines a meticulous, detailed aesthetic with pure function. His luminous glazes meld perfectly with the white porcelain clay. He makes his home in Philadelphia.
Nick Joerling throws and alters his stoneware forms creating loose, fluid pots that invite use and handling. His pots combine “qualities of sensuality, empathy, humor and risk.” He has long been associated with the crafts community that makes their home in Penland, NC.
