My lovely, lovely studio assistant (lifesaver and all around porcelain warrior) Heidi Sowa launched her website over the weekend. It was such a pleasure to look through her body of work and see her other non-pottery projects as well (well hello there awesome puppet costumes). I’m especially in love with the dishware at left in the soft blue-green (the very dishware that spurred me to inquire, “Do you want a job?”) that she throws and morphs on the wheel. Everything has a very natural, organic quality while still being distinctly modern. It’s something about the contrast of smooth, almost utilitarian shapes adorned with coils and soft folds that is oh so nice.  She will be displaying her wares on the waterfront at the Rose Festival on May 25 — be sure to go say hello and perhaps buy a mug or vessel while you’re there.
