David Kaufmann
"As a potter, my job is to humbly infuse everyday objects with human sensitivity. The aesthetic I cultivate maintains the lush softness of clay with simplicity and elegance. A blush of color here or the linear path of my fingertips there brings the joyful moments of making into a strong and durable form. It is my hope that the pottery I make is easy to live with and exists in a way that winks subtly from life’s periphery, bringing those who handle and use it a sense of where it came from: a fellow creative spirit on a path."
The studio is located at 55946 Tomcat Dr. in Fritz Creek. There is a walk of about 250 yards between the parking and the studio.
Guest Artist: Heidi Helling
Using clay as a vehicle, Heidi explores the daily relationships humans have cultivated through domestic ritual across time and culture. The act of creating functional and decorative objects lends itself to deep consideration of the intersection between ordinary rhythms, purpose, pleasure, beauty and time. Through her work, she continues to be intrigued by the ways in which handmade objects have the power to elevate experience and invoke feeling states of comfort, familiarity and connection with oneself, fellow humans and nature.
