Artist of the Day: Eleanor Hendriks

Yeah Canadian Content!!!

Eleanor hendriks is a potter from Fenelon Falls, Ontario, Canada who is very glad that Spring is finally coming to her part of the world -perhaps then she will get off the computer and head outside for a change! (PLEASE NOTE – THESE ARE HER WORDS NOT MINE – I’d hardly be the one to be telling someone to get off the computer! HA!)


You can find more of her beautiful work by checking out Élan Fine Pottery:

Artist of the Day: Nora Creahan

Nora is the only woman (Lucky girl!Show them how it’s done!) living and working at Cub Creek, a ceramics artist residency in Appomattox, VA. She says “They are all great guys but this ratio gave me the idea to make some feminine whisky bottles.”

Check out norajeanceramics.com for more. And also check out the Cub Creek Foundation website for more great images of Nora’s work and that of the other residents – they also have an upcoming workshop with Chris Gustin in October you might want to check out.

Artist of the Day: Priscilla Mouritzen

I’ve got to tell you guys, I’m loving this! So nice to see and share such gorgeous work with you!

Here’s today’s pics brought to you from Priscilla Mouritzen who you may know from the Pinch Pots Blog. She’s a South-African-born ceramist, living in Denmark.

The first is of 5 pinched porcelain wood-fired bowls and the second of one pinched porcelain w-f bowl. All were exhibited at Galerie Besson, London in 2008.


Artist of the day: Monica Bodnar


In Monica’s words: My last batch of work has come from a book titled “the man who mistook his wife for a hat” by oliver sacks. It’s a bunch of animals with people paraphernalia.

As the snow still exists here I’m jealous of Monica living in North Florida…sigh, will i ever wear shorts again??? Please check out her blog and etsy shop for more.

Artist of the day: Kip O’Krongly

Here we go folks! April is Artist of the day month, enjoy and thanks to all those that submitted, I’m really looking forward to a month of visual inspiration. Yummy eye candy!!!

Our first artist is Kip O’Krongly.

You can find out more about Kip at www.kipokrongly.blogspot.com, or www.kipokrongly.com.

In Kip’s words:

I am a functional potter working primarily in low fire earthenware at the Northern Clay Center in Minneapolis, MN. I use graphic imagery to exlpore my interest in the intersection of food production, energy use and transportation issues. I am intrigued by the way utilitarian ceramics can spark conversation and serve as a medium for personal interaction and change. When I’m not in the studio, I love to bake and knit!

Thanks Kip!
