I'm a non-binary ceramics artist based in Oklahoma. Looking for new experiences in farming, hiking, and food!

Description

Hello! I'm a ceramics artist based in Oklahoma - primarily using slab/hand-building, wheel-throwing, and sgraffito techniques in clay.

Before starting my own art practice, I worked as a Harvest Manager in the Pacific Northwest. I am well experienced in season-extension, growing organically, nurseries, and working with pigs and poultry. While working with clay still gets my hands dirty, I miss farming a lot and I'm always eager to learn more! I'm also very passionate about reducing food waste and love spending time in the kitchen.

I studied film production at university and worked in Los Angeles for six years as a Producer at a creative marketing agency, so I also have lots of experience with video production, social media, and nitty gritty computer tech if this could be of any help to you!
