Rachel Peters

Rachel makes hand-built vessels and sculptures through coiling.  Hand-building gives her  the freedom to create without restriction, allowing for more flexibility and experimentation.  It is slow, methodical, and meditative.

Rachel is influenced by the simplicity, beauty, and craftsmanship of Danish design.  Famous for its clean lines, natural materials, and muted colours.  I enjoy the harmony of natural soft forms, biomorphic rounded shapes, and calm colour.

Working with a variety of grogged stoneware clays to create a muted colour palette and interesting surfaces.  love the natural state of the clay, maintaining the connection to the material, and the appreciation of texture.
