Ceramics by Danielle Kroll, Josie Portillo and Yelena Bryksenkova

May 23, 2019

Our artists never cease to amaze us: in their artwork, in their lives, and in their other creative projects. We’ve been falling head over heels for some of the ceramic work by a few of our brilliant artists and couldn’t wait to share it with the world! Josie Portillo recently had a show at the Xiem Clay Center in Los Angeles and we fell down the rabbit hole of inspiration! Check out a few of these amazing pieces that she has been working on:

“I think this is my favorite porcelain piece I’ve made. It wasn’t meant to turn out this wonky.” -Via @josie_portillo

Also creating enviable ceramic works is RCC artist, Danielle Kroll! One of the founders of the collaborative art collective, Beech Hall, Danielle often dabbles in playful ceramics like planters, baskets, bowls and vases. “Ceramics is a happy place because I don’t take on commissioned work in that medium,” she says. “Which also means that I don’t get to work with clay that much since it never takes priority. I still feel like I’ve only tapped the surface with that.”

Yelena Bryksenkova has also shared a bit of her ceramic work after a hand-building class at Still Life Ceramics, and we are in love. Tiny little handmade vessels, full of life and character. Head over to her Instagram to view more!
