David Clingingsmith Ceramics

My ceramics practice is centered on functional handbuilt objects and the learning and refinement of new techniques. I’m relatively new, having first touched clay in 2023, but have developed a strong passion and dedication to the craft. I work both from my bench at home and Brick Ceramic + Design studio.

I’m currently giving away work to the community via the Pot Box. I see every handmade object as being partly a gift, in the sense that it embodies value that isn’t captured by what it might sell for. I’m fortunate to have a career whose support enables me to circulate my work in a way that emphasizes the non-commercial side of handmade objects.
