About me
Sarah Riley is a ceramic artist and educator with a passion for creating handmade objects that connect people. Fascinated by the interplay of function and form, she works to preserve the spontaneity and potential of fresh clay in her finished pieces. By altering freshly thrown forms, Sarah captures the material's flexibility and forgiveness. Through this process, she contemplates the curves, undulations, and complexities of the human body, and works to reflect those qualities in her forms. Her work invites viewers to navigate its twists, turns, textures, and marks, encouraging contemplation of their own internal worlds. Each piece becomes a vessel for introspection, a bridge for connection, and a spark for curiosity.
