Craft Awards - Eiko Emori Glass

Karla Rivera
The Pottery Supply House Clay and Glass Supply Grant

Karla is a ceramic artist born and raised in Mexico City. After some travelling, she moved to Hamilton Ontario. In 2021 Karla obtained a Bachelor of Craft and Design in Ceramics from Sheridan College.

In her work, she explores a path taken to search her inner being. Self-knowledge is a fundamental aspect of Karla's path as an artist, and it is with the help of clay and the use of different materials and composition, that she constantly evaluate things such as conduct or beliefs, and wonders where certain patterns that she follows came from.

In her current body of work, Karla takes an experimental approach to slip casting, where once more she examines themes of self-knowledge, the journey of challenging one’s assumptions and creating space for conversation.
