Want to be featured as an emerging artist on musing? All you have to do is send me some images, a brief write up if you’d like, and a website if you have it to [email protected] If you could put emerging artist in the subject header of the email so it doesn’t get lost in my spam folder that would be great. Thanks!

Alex Zablocki was born in Denver
Colorado and raised in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan, and is currently a
ceramic artist residing in Fort Collins, Colorado. He received his BFA from Finlandia University and also
studied ceramic design in Kuopio Finland.
He spent two years working and studying as a Post-Baccalaureate student
at both the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, and Colorado State University. He
has shown work both nationally and inte
rnationally.
I build pieces using the vernacular of pottery to talk about
process, celebrating all the qualities, which exploit my participation in the
making. I throw and alter
cylinders while dividing and dissecting certain areas with the use of lines. These lines then create seams, which
accentuate subtle aspects within the forms. I am constantly engaged by the
manipulation of clay to create works that are both functionally sound and
aesthetically pleasing. My work
exhibits a variety of subtle changes in the direction of form to create
luscious and full shapes, which directly talks about their ability to contain,
display, and disperse. I
find wood and soda firing to be the most appropriate means of firing my
work. These processes allow for
the activation of surface that compliments the way in which I work wi
th clay.
