Shinhye You: Selected works, 2025-2026

Shinhye You: Selected works, 2025-2026 These fairies are the souls of the dead, reborn as translucent winged creatures. Fragile and harmless, yet they contain unresolved sorrow and resentment that can curse the ones who dare to kill them. I started making them during a residency in Jingdezhen, China, in the summer of 2025. Growing up […]

Vessel, Sculpture and Other Fictions

By Olivia Fero What if the vessel-versus-sculpture debate that has preoccupied contemporary ceramics is not merely unresolved, but unanswerable? Not a genuine question at all, but a category mistake: the philosophical error of treating one kind of thing as if it were another. The British philosopher Gilbert Ryle first deployed the category mistake in The […]

The Clay Studio presents American Crib: What’s Happening? by Roberto Lugo, a Radical Americana exhibition

Eva Zethraeus: Selected works, 2025-2026

Eva Zethraeus: Selected works, 2025-2026 My work as a ceramic artist is deeply rooted in an exploration of nature’s processes — its capacity for growth, transformation, decay, and regeneration.

Lauren Kalman: Devices for Filling a Void, 2015-2026 Devices for Filling a Void combines jewelry, with forms reminiscent of reconstructive surgical devices and amorphous bodily forms.
