Next up on the Art Trail Open Studio weekend spotlight is: Jen Meyers of Perfect Mug Pottery!
“I am a small batch artisan potter, living and working in Trumansburg, NY. Also an artist, novelist, and coloring book creator, I am a compulsive creator who loves to learn. I’ve loved pottery my entire life, but only learned how to make my own when, out of the blue, my husband gifted me a pottery class in 2018, knowing I’d always wanted to learn. It was the most romantic gift of my life. On the card, he wrote, “You love to create and I love you…that’s why.” I fell in love on day one of class (of COURSE I did), and that started me on this particular creative path.
The natural warmth and beauty of black and brown clays inspired me to develop my signature style of hand-carved designs with the surrounding clay left bare—the clays are simply too beautiful to keep fully hidden beneath glaze. My style is time-consuming and challenging to glaze, but I love the results too much to do it any other way.”
On October 10-11 and 17-18, from 11:00am to 5:00pm each day, 36 fine & functional artists are open one or both weekends for the 28th annual Greater Ithaca Art Trail OPEN STUDIO WEEKENDS!
