Jeff Campana, Robert Sutherland, and Kristen Kieffer

I have been doing a lot of looking and searching for awesome ceramicists, and so far, these three have been my favorite.

Jeff Campana's work is really beautiful. I love the sleek lines he has in his work and the minimal color. I was reading more about his work and apparently he builds or throws his pieces and then dissects them apart and then puts them back together again to get those sleek lines. Here is his gallery: http://jeffcampana.com/photo-archive/

Kristen Kieffer has been very inspiring to me so far. I also am a huge fan of the art nouveau period so seeing that incorporated into ceramics is awesome! I love her stamping, I am very interested in trying that once I throw a good enough piece! I also love the soft colors and the occasional complimentary lines or circles she adds. I also love the nice curves she adds to her bowls. Here is her gallery : http://kiefferceramics.com/gallery/

Robert Sutherland is pretty bad ass. I love the "crackly" glaze and the bright colors that he puts on his pieces. He also gives his pieces interesting shapes that I feel really go along with the specific painting that he does. I would really love to learn how to paint on my pieces like this and learn how to do that crackly glaze! Here is his gallery:
