Join us for Featured Firsts at Turnagain Ceramics! Each first Friday, we hold an opening reception for a different local ceramic artist, featuring a free community throw and light refreshments! Our front gallery has a treasure trove of pottery and ceramic art that our studio members lovingly handcraft. From plates, mugs, and bowls to jewelry and sculpture, our gallery has it all!
Our February featured artist is Erin Cockreham. Erin is a fantastic ceramic artist and teacher who has been with Turnagain Ceramics since day one. She creates beautiful pottery with an emphasis on form. Erin’s pottery has been thoughtfully designed to be comfortable to use and fun to look at from every angle. These sweet, darling pots are perfect for Valentine’s Day!
"Erin Cockreham graduated with BAs in both Ceramics and Psychology before almost immediately taking a hiatus from Ceramics to work as a professional baker. Erin’s dream pots are juicy, vibrant, and comfortable. She lives by the philosophy that if the form is great all it needs is a nice glaze. Erin wants her pots to be your favorite– the comfortable kind of pottery you just keep going back to. An introverted foodie by nature, Erin puts a lot of thought into how her pottery will feel filled with home-cooked meals. Erin is an Instructor at Turnagain Ceramics. She works to establish a fun and compassionate work environment for students to explore both the creative and technical aspects of ceramics. Kindness is everything in Erin's classes so expect to be welcomed warmly at whatever skillset you enter with. When she's not working in the studio Erin can be found working on her creative writing or hosting friends for dinner parties if she hasn't already left on another adventure."
