Lowell Hutcheson

Artist・Educator

Lowell Hutcheson is a ceramic artist working primarily on the wheel to create monumental forms, focusing on textures drawn from the Lake Ontario shoreline. Working from a studio in Central New York, she creates each piece from raw clay and slips harvested in part from the shore, rooting her work back to her home.

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, designed for gallery and museum installation as well as private collection.

Hutcheson's ceramic sculptures have been shown most recently at Arts at the Palace (Hamilton, NY), in Made in New York (Schweinfurth Art Center, Auburn NY), and The Things We Carry (CIRCA Atelier, Toronto, ON). She also leads workshops on throwing techniques, and wild clay harvesting and integration 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.
