Ceramic Artist and Illustrator
Bri makes wheel thrown pottery adorned with colorful clays and hand drawn imagery arrayed in patterns across the clay’s surface. Originally from the great state of Minnesota, she currently has her studio in New England. In 2013 Bri earned a BFA from the University of Wisconsin-River Falls, majoring in ceramics under Randy Johnston and learning a lot about wood firings.
In 2018 Bri moved to Providence, Rhode Island to start a two year long residency at The Steel Yard where she shifted her focus from atmospheric firings to electric firings at cone 6. In 2020, she moved across the border to Connecticut to help her husband’s family while still continuing to work in Providence, RI. Bri currently has a studio located in the Nicholson File Artist Community and a small studio space at home.
