Ayumi Horie

Ahhhh... Ayumi, you are so refreshing.




Alfred University alumni Ayumi Horie is one bad-ass potter. Horie uses a technique called dry throwing... a term which my adolescent brain confuses with dry-humping, I think as a trajic combination of throwing off the hump and dry throwing. Anyway, this is not the point. Not only is Horie's work totally awesome, she makes earthenware look totally cool and porcelain look totally humble and relaxed, but this technique is so rad. I can't wait to try it. Plus her instructional video is totally funny.



Horie's next show is at the Red Lodge Clay Center in Red Lodge, Montana, opening August 7th and closing August 31st, and will feature a collaboration with New York illustrator Sara Varon. You don't know how bad I wish I could be there. Maybe I'll force my mom to go. Muah ha ha!
