Clay
Ceramics helps me learn to be patient - and to recognize when it's time to make a move. For me, it's a series of windows of opportunity; moments in time where action can be positive (or negative) and recorded and frozen... I began exploring ceramics in 2008 while studying in Woodland Hills, CA with Melody Cooper and look forward to expanding my knowledge and abilities with this versatile craft. Watch for special pieces available for sale in the kylewilliam.com shop or on my etsy site! Either way, purchases help out animals in need - thank you for looking!
