Lowell Hutcheson

Artist・Educator

Lowell Hutcheson is a ceramic artist working primarily on the wheel to create monumental forms with a focus on textures drawn from the erosion patterns and sediment layers of the Lake Ontario shoreline. Working from a studio in Central New York, she creates each large-scale piece from raw clay and slips harvested in part from the shore, allowing geologic time and material weathering to register directly in the surface.

Her work engages what remains: the sediment, the shoreline, the traces left behind as a landscape erodes. Pieces range up to several feet in height, thrown and constructed for gallery and museum installation as well as private collection.

Hutcheson's ceramic sculpture has been shown most recently in Made in New York (Schweinfurth Art Center, Auburn NY), and The Things We Carry (CIRCA Atelier, Toronto, ON). She also leads workshops on ceramic process and material sourcing for institutions and organizations, drawing on her ongoing research into the region's clay and sediment. Her studio accepts inquiries from galleries, collectors, and interior designers seeking large-scale, one-of-a-kind ceramic work for residential and institutional settings, as well as workshop bookings.
