Thompson Pottery Studio

Shortly after graduate school, I had the opportunity to work with . One of the first custom homes they let me see was one that was heavily inspired by Frank Loyd Wright. It was subtle, well designed, with impeccable craftsmanship. I felt a personal connection with the ideals that it upheld. It was from that experience that I began to look closely at Frank's work in architecture. These pieces feature Frank's designs from stained glass and decorative concrete.

Several months of work preparing for my show with . I'm super excited 😁.

The pattern for this piece comes from Frank Loyd Wright's concrete light screen. I love how the volume of the piece stretches out the pattern. It's like the vase took a deep breath.

I had to learn a hard lesson today. Don't refire platters... the glaze wasn't fully matured the initial firing, so I decided to risk it. All three platters have a giant crack running through them. 😭 I'll remake them.
