Ed and Holden have been working as a studio team in clay since 2003. Their work is developed through a collaborative process while allowing for development of one of a kind sculptures. Their forms are architectural, organic and natural; all expressing form, beauty, texture and color with a purpose.
Holden and Ed have been working in ceramics since 1997 and as a team since 2003. Both are graduates of Auburn University and have completed post-graduate studies at Penland School of Craft in NC and in Santa Fe, NM. They use a collaborative process making all unique, one-of-a-kind sculptures.
Sculptures are made using clay slabs, extusions, coils and pinched forms often combined with mixed media materials. Texture is applied to the clay surfaces with found objects (driftwood, rocks, corals) and handmade ceramic stamps and roulettes. Painted and drawn surfaces incorporate terra sigillata, layered underglazes, slips, oxides and sgraffito.
