HEATHER GRAY
I’ve spent 15 years designing
for brands in New York, Portland
and San Francisco. Returning to clay
has reconnected me with the infinite
dimensions of the natural world.
My work is an examination of the
fearless clash of form and function.
Disturbing domestic objects with
organic shapes that break down
stereotypes. My goal is to inspire those who see my work to look
more carefully at the world around them, to discover beauty in
the unexpected.
I hold a BFA from Kendall College
of Art and Design.

My world is divided into two categories:
creative director and maker.

Collaboration is my name of the game.
Nothing is more satisfying than continuing
the creative process by making more
things. These photos are fucking
gorgeous. Thanks Bruce for making my
pots look beautiful.

It takes courage for the people
leading the ship to take chances.

The curators of this show believed in my
vision and gave me a year to concept,
make and build this installation. We all
took a leap of faith and wow it came out
spectacular.

Penland School of Craft
The art of making brings people
together, no matter what.
together, no matter what.
I’ve never thrown so much clay in my life. I also have never learned so much about myself, my process, clay and firing in 5 weeks. This experience changed me as a potter and I am forever grateful for this wild group.
Ware
It takes a village, a dash of belief and
a lot of fucking courage. But if you stay
the course people will come.

Ware was founded on my notion
of collaboration. Taking my
marketing/design background and
building a direct-to consumer seasonal
ecomm experience. We offer the
customer a curated collection of
pottery each season.

The History of Seeing

The world is divided into two categories: failures and unknowns.
Dada talks with you, it is everything, it includes everything, it belongs to all religions, can be neither victory nor defeat, it lives in space and not in time.
Dada is like your hopes: nothing like your paradise: nothing like your idols: nothing like your heroes: nothing like your artists: nothing like your religions: nothing.

Vladimir Mayakovsky by Alexander Rodchenko
We are not responsible for what we do; we are ignorant of our acts until we accomplish them.
One must go through life, be it red or blue, stark naked and accompanied by the music of a subtle fisherman, prepared at all times for a celebration.

Nature is unfair? So much the better, inequality is the only bearable thing, the monotony of equality can only lead us to boredom.
You are always looking for already-felt emotions, just as you like to get an old pair of trousers back from the cleaners, which seem new when you don't look too closely. Artists are cleaners, don't let yourself be taken in by them. True modern works of art are made not by artists but quite simply by men.
