Sarah Reesor Ceramics
I graduated in 2009 with a Bachelor of Arts in Ceramics from Southwestern University in Georgetown, Texas. While in college I found and fell in love with ceramics, and was fortunate enough to study with local Texas artists Patrick Veerkamp and Chris Campbell. After graduation found my way into the studio of Ryan McKerley in Austin, Texas and worked as a part-time studio tech as well as on my own ceramics. In 2012 I moved to South Lake Tahoe, California, where I worked out of my home studio while teaching and firing at Ogres-Holm Pottery in Carson City, Nevada. In mid-2020, in the height of the pandemic, my husband and I moved back to Austin to be closer to family. I am now working out of my lovely home studio (aka the garage) and firing with both Ryan McKerley and Sunset Canyon Pottery.
My ceramics are almost exclusively thrown, and I works primarily in Laguna B-mix, cone ten. I am particularly interested in various forms of surface decoration- particularly painting with underglazes and carving the surfaces of my pots. I always enjoy exploring and the boundaries between functional and decorative ceramics.
