Organically shaped ceramic pieces created by hand in Philadelphia by Claire Resnick. Rarely using more than my two hands to make my work, I create designs that keep me, the maker, present in the final piece. My pieces are textural and wonky, they are meant to be used and loved.

The forms allude to natural movement; the curves and slumps of an active body, waves breaking along a shore, bark pulling away from its tree. Rarely using more than my two hands to make my work I harness the natural bounds of clay and body to create pieces that keep me, the maker, present in the final piece. Within these bounds I push for freedom and flexibility in the clay which allows my mind to loosen my expectations of perfection. I embrace a meditative rhythm while pinching and coiling that brings warmth to my heart and the pieces themselves.
