Celebrating Functional Ceramics by Wisconsin Artists
Join us in November for a group show celebrating pottery made for a purpose! Six of our Hatch Art House potters will be showing off their functional art – mugs, bowls, vases, and more all in their own unique styles.
Come view the work of Jenny Blasen, Christine Konen, Mud Garden Studio, Mary Pulliam, Gloria Van Dixhorn, and JD Wolfe at Hatch Art House for the month of November. And join us for an artist reception coinciding with MMoCA’s Gallery Night on Friday, November 7th from 5-9pm.
Hatch Art House | 1248 Williamson St, Madison, WI
When creating my functional pottery I take inspiration from everyday objects. I craft each piece by hand using different textures and rich fluid colors to create elevated useful pieces.
My body of work explores the relationship between nature and light. Each piece has a significance in adding light to the world – from its idea through the process of creation. I wish for my work to invoke respect for the earth in which we rely and for the light of the good to continue fighting to sustain her.
I make lighthearted, quirky ceramics for your home. Using earthenware clay and majolica glazing techniques, I create hand-built and wheel thrown pieces that are inspired by folk art, flowers, and good food shared with friends.
I’ve been doing ceramics about fifteen years. My goal is to make serviceable, comfortable pieces that will actually be used in their new homes. I try to make the glazes appealing, using bright color and flowing shapes often drawn from nature.
Functional ceramic art . Each piece is thrown, trimmed and decorated by hand with original images. Then glazed and fired in a wood kiln built by myself and 3 artist women friends.
JD Wolfe focuses on small scale pottery with natural influences.
Our annual show of small square upcycled works by local Wisconsin artists is up for viewing through the end of August. Want to learn a bit more about this year’s featured artists? Keep scrolling!

I am a fiber artist inspired by topography and the beauty of our world’s landscapes. My work is uniquely three-dimensional and incorporates several fiber types and textures. The form of each piece is built using papier-mâché over recycled tile mesh – a building material commonly made of fiberglass with a plastic coating that dissolves upon sun exposure (microplastics – yikes!).

I love combining my two passions, art and thrifting to make something beautiful! I find collaging upcycled shirts, skirts and old upholstery from thrift stores and my own closet to be very meditative and healing.

Making something out of nothing has been a driving principal in my life. Recently I have embraced the challenge to create beauty where I do not see it. In this project I choose a color scheme that I find unsettling but hope will strike a chord with someone in my audience.

Finding a way to minimalism and simplicity in art making is a fun life journey. Creating visual art through experimentation via upcycling of organic objects opens my eyes and I have learned quite a lot about these materials and the process of crafting them. Life to art.

I have worked in many capacities over my lifetime, including social worker. No matter what my “day job,” I have created various types of art since childhood and throughout my adult years, and organic forms have been my inspiration and a continued theme.
Recently, I have been incorporating small ceramic pieces, some of which I made by hand, with much-loved vintage buttons and other sewing accessories and/or knitted materials. I also have been growing flowers in my sunroom, then drying them and preserving them against a backdrop of acrylic on canvas.
I considered how artists attempt to capture moments of images and feelings, as if to immortalize them. My art overall is my acceptance of the beauty in the world, and its ultimate death, while longing for an eternity of physical form.

Malone, WI | He/Him
I work predominantly with acrylic and watercolor paints, but also work with melted crayons. A life-long table-top gamer, I thought I would focus on fantasy and science fiction subjects, but inspiration came more powerfully from my own backyard. As such, my subject matter tends to be close-up views of nature, predominantly wildflowers and pollinators. Other frequent subjects include human and animal portraiture and close-up views of human eyes.

My work pairs natural and human-made imagery, often utilizing recycled materials. Creating art with items that would usually be discarded gives them new value. I often question our culture of waste and wonder why we perceive some items as valuable and others as trash.

My artwork explores the complexities and contradictions of US histories. Drawing on decades of academic research in a loosely defined field of inquiry I termed critical identity studies, I have now fully transitioned my medium of communication to the visual arts. This artistic turn nevertheless continues my life’s work of sharing insights and posing uncomfortable questions about the attachment to “whiteness” as a racial project.

Animals and nature have always been a common theme in my art, but I didn’t truly begin to understand the depths of it until I studied them from life in my scientific illustration courses in college. There’s always so much to look at, even in the most minute of details, and I enjoy trying to capture that life in my work.
