MICHELLE WILLIAMS  |  CERAMICS

​

Inspired by natural forms and a background in twentieth-century art and design, Michelle creates porcelain bottles, vases and bowls. Harmonious lines and precise volumes are the focal point of her work. She leaves most of her finished pieces unglazed, allowing the beauty of the porcelain and carefully wheel-thrown forms to shine. Michelle creates all of her work by hand in her Seattle studio. Her process begins with sketching from nature and historical ceramic forms. Drawing upon her experience as a curator and art historian she makes work that combines a minimalist aesthetic with the richness and complexity of organic forms. Working exclusively on the wheel Michelle creates vessels, often working in groups or series, that capture the essence of a particular idea or visual style.  Michelle received her B.A. in Fine Art from Claremont McKenna College and her M.A. in Art History from the University of Southern California. Prior to becoming a ceramist she worked at The Broad Art Foundation and the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA).
