Christian Collins, Studio Assistant
Christian is a potter living in Kent, CT. Since graduating with a BFA from Hartford Art School, he has worked with several studios and a handful of makers, artists and creators.
Feeling a connection to the material experimentation of ceramics, Christian uses a range of clays and glazes in different kilns to create his surfaces. He has been exploring new forms and surfaces in an experimental kiln built from the old BCC salt kiln bricks.
Christian makes functional pottery using both stoneware and porcelain – primarily firing his pots in wood and salt kilns. His pots include pattern and layering techniques that create depth in surface and texture. Feeling a deep connection to making pots throughout all stages, Christian’s work is influenced by material and firing processes.
