Craft Awards

Kim Ross
FUSION: ONTARIO CLAY AND GLASS DESIGN AWARD

The desire to make a mark on some unembellished surface - like a freshly painted wall or just poured concrete sidewalk–is within all of us. This desire compelled me to first take a class in pottery at the local community center and then to eventually enroll in the Craft and Design Ceramics program at Sheridan College. Making functional and sculptural objects out of clay fulfills that desire, and I hope my work reminds the viewer of his or her own innate desire to touch and mark something. The work can be thrown and altered, molded or hand-crafted, but I am always incorporating tactility and the idea of movement into the piece.
