Kristen Larson Pottery

Craft – Columbus

I fell in love with clay fifteen years ago.I was initially drawn to the inherently functional nature of pottery, but over the years I have been altering functional forms, such as bowls thrown on the wheel, into decorative pieces. While the pragmatist in me strives to fill my world with useful objects, the artist in me believes that "everyday objects" can also be beautiful or thought-provoking. Using both porcelain and stoneware, I especially enjoy piercing clay to invite candle and electric lights to cast geometric shadows.
