Meg Walsh
C&M Ceramics
"I strive to create the elements of soft fascination in my work. This concept—often spoken about in relation to natural landscapes and phenomena—can be defined as the ability to attract someone's attention gently while limiting the need for intense focus and engagement. I love this idea and hope to recreate this soft capturing of attention in my work in an effort to better facilitate play, reflection, and ritual."
Meg approaches her work playfully, with inspiration informed by vibrant hues and natural landscapes. The images and designs are created through several layers and techniques which allows for a subtle depth to emerge in her pieces. Utilizing her thoughtfully crafted vessels as her canvas, her designs fold moments of joy and celebrations into our daily rituals and routines.
Meg uses porcelain in all her wheel-thrown and slip-cast work in large part because of its excellent ability to display color. She mixes her own color palette through custom glazes as well as stained slips and porcelains for marbling. Each piece is then decorated by hand and glazed with a durable, non-leaching, food-safe glaze.
Meg was first introduced to clay in high school and immediately fell in love. She went on to study at Alfred University where she focused in ceramics and had the privilege to study under Sanam Emami and Linda Sikora. After Alfred, she moved to Maine where she has been designing and creating ceramic work next to the ocean for the last 15 years.
