hummingbird9studios combines pop-art imagery and design with functional ceramics. Each piece is handmade in my studio outside of Philadelphia. Inspired by 60’s pop-art and using a mono-print process, images are created and captured onto silkscreens. The prints are applied to my handmade ceramics using colorful slips. I will often use a combination of mono-print transfers, carving and stamps to help me create a whimsical aged and vintage appearance of my images onto clay. As a potter and ceramic artist, I believe that the most intimate thing I can do is to make an object that you will use daily. I want my mug to be the one you reach for because it not only speaks to you, but it adds value to your life through its utility. My pieces are not meant to be kept safe on the shelf. Honestly, I want them rolling around on your car floor because you use them all the time. This connection between everyday use and personal expression deeply influences the way I approach my work in the studio.
