I was given the Award of Excellence and asked to come back next year!

I am now two months in at Cranbrook Academy of art, in the Metals MFA program with Maria and Alberte and Josephine too. Mind shifting discussions about art are happening daily. The constant making and learning, workshops on professional practices, and regular lectures from visiting artists have made this experience completely engaging and really perfect. I have a few new directions now (12?) where I am exploring vulcanized rubber, aluminum, mesh, lawn chair webbing, and yes always clay, in some very new directions. I can not wait to share it all. But right now I am busy making. See you soon. #cranbrookacademyofart @a.tranberg @mariaphillipsstudio @filosophine_winther #mfa #makeart #aluminum #vulcanizedrubber

Looking a little worn. But doing it. Getting all the things done for art fair this year, guys. And here is a shot of me prepping for the fair last year—desperate to not look tired.

Finish your pots, people. Art Fair is this week. It is Wednesday, I mean Thursday! Who waxes their joints? Anyone? #speeddry #probablynotagoodidea #wax I am using You Betcha from @rovin_ceramics @annarborstreetartfair July 18-20th Booth IN 226 Near Burton Tower #wip #ceramics ##contemporaryceramics #cornucopia

Prints. Big. This will be a diptych. I am laying a coat of satin varnish over the images, in hopes of moving towards a more tangible piece. I want the images to work like objects. Thank you times 100 to @imageworksfineart for all the special care and space✨♥️. The varnish is museum grade, perfectly flexible, can take acrylic color, and semi-translucent when dry. @breathingcolor_ Ann Arbor Art Fair July 18-20th, 2024 Booth #IN226 @annarborstreetartfair #heap #laundry #photography #glaze #colorblend #diptychphotography #thethingswecarry #cornucopia #shutterspeedphotography #physicalphotography #color #pattern #light #cluster #clutch #pink #kellygreen #monogram #annarborareaartists #tactile #tangilbe #artyoucantouch #stripes

Slabs. Love them. Slab rollers do all the hard work and then all the remains is a beautiful sheet of clay to work with✨ All this is will lead up to my first home-studio Coffee and Clay class, for adults only. We will have a brand new kiln to make all of the clay and glaze experiments in ✨ #clayclass #ceramics #contemporaryceramics #clay #slabroller #art #pottery #kiln #testtiles

Three of my top favorite glaze bases, of the moment. I will teach glaze formulation this Winter and Spring — two locations. Send me a message if you are in the area and interested✨✨✨✨✨ Happy New Year. 2024 is gonna be a good one. #ceramicmaterialsworkhop #glazechemistry #glazeformulation #matte #glossy #monicarickhoffwilson #porcelain

Making White Clutch with Pink. Fast then slow. I make hundreds of parts quickly, thrown hollow on the wheel, fire them in the kiln twice, then I take days to put them all together.
