CERAMICS

Topanga has been working on a potter’s wheel for more than a decade. What started as a fun way to try something new quickly became serious. Embracing the imperfections of her clay as she throws, Topanga finds beauty and inspiration in its organic forms. When the clay begins to fold or collapse, she works with these natural shapes, finding joy in sculpting from their unrefined state. Topanga listens to music while she works, and, as a result, her pieces in their final form often reflect the mood in her studio, capturing a moment of emotion in ceramic form.  

She seamlessly integrates her love for photography into her ceramic practice, capturing each step of the journey through photos and videos. These visual records not only document her creative process but also inspire new ideas across all her artistic endeavors.
