Summary
Michelle Grimm approaches clay with curiosity, experimentation, and patience. Shaping by hand, Michelle explores diverse glazing and firing techniques, often incorporating organic materials and research. Embracing unpredictability, Michelle's work balances control and surrender. The resulting vessels—both functional and sculptural—are original forms that reflect a connection to nature, history, and the elemental forces of making.
