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.
For the month May, Hatch Art House will be showcasing the artwork of local potter, Alyssa Martz. Alyssa’s artist statement reads, “I’m a potter and ceramic artist working in Wisconsin’s scenic Driftless Region. My studio practice intersects rustic modern clay work and traditional folk aesthetics. I embrace the charm of the intuitive in my making process and relish all the little idiosyncrasies that develop in a hand-made object. Each piece celebrates human touch, be it a ruffled edge here, or a splotch of colored glaze there. My pottery is sure to bring a smile to your face and charm to your space.” The artist reception will be coinciding with the MMoCA Gallery Night, Friday, May 6th, 2022 from 5-9 pm, and the show will run through May 31st.
