Ceramics and Pottery

Marissa's love of clay began when she took a pottery class in High School. From Vermont to Hawai'i to North Carolina, she has continued to expand her understanding of clay through classes and workshops and to make work that evolves with her location.

"The most important element of my work is how the pot feels in your hands when you use it, how it holds the food you like to eat and the way it weaves into daily life in your home. Dance has been an important part of my life since I was young, so I love to incorporate the sensation of movement into my work, whether it be through the swoop of a handle or swirl of glaze."
