Holly Walker

Holly's work is handbuilt, pinching up each layer of rolled coil to build form. Pinching is a slow, rhythmic process that allows time to envision a piece while building. Her first studio pursuit was in painting, and she continues to be informed by both contemporary and historical paintings. Holly approaches the surface of the piece as a painter, using abstract geometric structure to map the geography of it, envisioning it with painterly brushing of colored slips and glazes. Though densely layered, the resulting surfaces reveal the warmth of the red clay beneath. Holly received her MFA in Ceramics, with a minor in painting, from Louisiana State University and BFA in Painting from Ohio University. She practices in Vermont, has taught and lectured nationwide, and her work is widely published.
