Lily Fein Artist Lecture

Lily Fein makes coil-built porcelain vessels that capture and imply movement. The objects morph and change as she creates them, developing a language of improvisation that gives form to a stream of consciousness approach to making. The clay holds these spontaneous moments balanced by the rhythm of the process. The fingermarks never cease throughout the pot and the glazes enhance this captured movement.

Fein grew up in Massachusetts and received her BFA from Syracuse University. She has since gone on to participate in variousresidencies in the United States including The Archie Bray Foundation, Northern Clay Center, The Society of Arts and Crafts, Craigardan, Project Art, and The New Harmony Clay Project. She currently lives in New Orleans, Louisiana where she plays in a couple of bands and makes her porcelain vessels.
