Aby May Henry,
Ceramic artist

I see pottery as the confluence between the earth and the body. All love boils down to interaction, and ceramics is evidence of that dance and interaction. What comes from the heart goes to the heart. Every piece that is thrown is thrown with love and intention. 

Aby’s unique aesthetic came about over 19 years of experimentation. Having been fortunate to travel the world doing artist residencies and also moving around a lot it came to make less and less sense to use beautiful local clay all over the world and then cover it with glaze.

That is where Aby’s one of a kind aesthetic was born. She started to expose more and more of the clay body to accentuate the medium that she is working with. After 19 years working in ceramics her knowledge and respect of the clay body goes deep. Her design work is a way of acknowledging and respecting this special medium.
