The Clay Studio | Celia Feldberg

Resident Artist Solo Exhibition

Oct 8th - Jan 3rd, 2027

The journeys we take - big, small, alone, and shared - shape our paths and come to define us. Getting There explores the theme of forward motion, through drawings that span earthenware vessels, pottery, and wall pieces, carrying a storybook spirit. Animal imagery abounds, with a nod to migratory species. These works speak to the physical means of getting from point a to point b, while offering perspective into the emotional landscapes we traverse as we navigate uncertain futures. At its core, this collection is rooted in an appreciation for where we have been, curiosity for where we are now, and a sense of hope for what is to come.

Artist Statement:

My work incorporates narrative imagery, playful humor, and bright color on ceramic forms to invite connection and impart joy. The pieces themselves are often functional or made for the wall, intended to become part of a home where they can be seen and engaged with often. By having illustrations that wrap around three dimensional forms, I create a process of discovery, as one must turn the piece in their hands to unfold its full story. Nature and everyday moments inspire me, and animals often take center stage. I love the direct connection we make with images of animals and that anyone can see themselves in these characters. I seek balance in my work, wanting the pieces to feel both niche and relatable, to express joy with a touch of poignancy or playfulness with an edge of carefulness. I aim to highlight small moments and memories, and capture a sense of place, emotional truth, and wonder.
