Clawfoot

Exhibition Note: On display at Rookwood through 9/21. Purchased works will be released for shipping or pickup starting 9/22.

"The bath is a sacred place in my creative practice. It’s where I turn to reflect, recharge, and return to myself. Clawfoot evokes the intimate solitude of bathtime, when ideas and water flow with warmth and abundance. The image brazenly defies the shape of the vessel while also accentuating the form of the human body, creating a complex environment that is both personal and atmospheric.

"An ode to my favorite creative dwelling, Bathtub is a small handbuilt sculpture for holding objects of importance that could use the divine warmth and cleansing of the bath. Add this piece to your altar as a reminder to give yourself great care." 

Clawfoot comes with its companion piece, Bathtub.

The Moon, The Garden, and Me: 

Inspired by Julia Lipovsky's relationship between the earth and the unknown, The Moon, The Garden, and Me invites the emotional complexity of life into rituals of service and care. Wild, organic, and strong, this collection explores femininity and domestic labor from a contemplative and personal lens. This body of work is part of the 2025 Rookwood Artist Series.

Rookwood Artist Series:

With roots reaching back to 1880, Rookwood has long been a place where creative vision is honored, celebrated, and boldly pursued. The Artist Series continues that legacy by inviting artists from a range of disciplines to bring their own voice to the medium of ceramics. Whether hand-decorating existing forms or collaborating with our team to develop original work, these artists bring fresh perspectives that challenge tradition and expand what’s possible. Staying true to Rookwood’s longstanding belief in recognizing the individual maker, each piece is signed by the artist alongside our iconic flame—a symbol of shared creativity and enduring craftsmanship.
