The Clay Studio | Tiffany Thomas: Sprinkles and Confetti

A Celebration of Souls

Jun 4th - Jun 27th, 2021

2020 was a difficult year for some of us. It unfolded into a complex year that gently navigated into celebrating the good that flowed into my life. From the birth of my son, to the appreciation of looking forward to a daily walk, I’ve learned to relax into the flow of finding joy, and peace, in the simple areas of life. This collection celebrates the good in the world; the joy that exists around us.

Tiffany Thomas is a native of Florence, South Carolina. Born in 1985, she was raised on a farm and experienced the ups and downs of living a farm life. She incorporates her childhood into her paintings by using bright colors, which are associated with playfulness and collage paintings with reclaimed wood that her family discarded from old houses, buildings and dumpsters. Her clay of choice is translucent porcelain, fired with colorful stains and glazes. Her ceramic work focuses on an array of designs; from cups and mugs to light fixtures and table pieces. All of her pieces are hand carved.

Tiffany's goal is to not only sell art nationally online and through galleries and craft shows, but also to demonstrate to others how art can bridge communities and make the world a better place.

Tiffany has exhibited in numerous shows such as the South Carolina Arts Commission Gala, The North Carolina Museum of Art Art of the Auction, Spartanburg Juried Competition, The Heritage Festival and The Pee Dee Regional art Competition.

She's active in the Florence community. In 2013, she was asked to judge the children's division of Art Fields. She also sells her ceramics at festivals, Art fairs and local boutiques.

Tiffany graduated from Francis Marion University in 2012 with a degree in Visual Arts with concentrations in ceramics and painting.
