Collection: Send Pot Punisher to Penland!

Help send Pot Punisher to Penland!

I’m so excited to accept a work study scholarship to attend a spring concentration workshop at Penland School of Craft in 2023!

I will be taking an 8-week ceramics intensive with Justin Rothshank, covering production pottery, image transfer, and soda and wood firings. This is such an amazing opportunity to further my artistic practice and experiment with new techniques and I am so thankful to have part of the cost covered through their work study program.

To help raise the remaining funds I am offering exclusive, one of a kind, handmade pieces made during my time at Penland and using the techniques I learn there. I don't know what direction my work will take but am excited to share the journey with you! 

I need to cover the remaining tuition, housing, travel, supplies, and rent in SF while I’m away and need your help to reach my goal of $5,000. I appreciate all your support, thanks!

Other ways to help:

-Buy something from my online store

-Share my work with friends

-Purchase something off my Amazon Wishlist 

What is Pot Punisher?

Pot Punisher is an ongoing performance art experiment that explores the fragility and frustration ceramics can cause. Failure is a big part of the ceramic process, with many points at which a piece can be lost. That can be heartbreaking at times but it has taught me to be less precious with my work in order to learn what I can from the mistake and move forward. In making the videos I found a way to express my frustration and release my aggression in a way that is both fun and cathartic. We are conditioned to only present the best versions of our work on social media, excluding the struggles, mistakes, and experimental stages a piece goes through to become a finished piece and the videos are a celebration of destruction and acceptance of failure as part of the creative process.
