JESSE MUMM About the artist: "I am a potter from Davenport, Iowa. I take pride in the fact that my work is functional and usable in daily life. 12 years ago at the age of 11 I learned how to throw pottery on the potter's wheel. I have taken classes since then, but I am mostly self taught. In 2013, I started my pottery business, Mumm's Mud. I have attended multiple art fairs in the Quad Cities area. I work daily in my home studio and continue to experiment and learn new pottery techniques. For me, there is nothing more satisfying than seeing a piece of my pottery being used and enjoyed in everyday life." About her work: "I was first introduced to Raku during my studies at a local college. The pottery program allowed us to participate in a true Raku experience and we worked as a team to fire everyone's pieces. After finishing my studies I was invited to come back to demonstrate the horsehair raku technique for different classes. I enjoy the unpredictability of how the hair will lay and where the smoke will travel. I use simple forms to showcase the horsehair technique." |
