About the Artist
Hi. I’m Heather Schumacher. I’m an artist, based in Southern California.
My work is inspired by the organic forms and qualities found in nature. As such, my pieces are often left unglazed to expose the authentic texture of the clay being used and reflect soft lines intended to evoke a sense of calm. My pieces are produced primarily in stoneware, using traditional handbuilding techniques. This involves combining various forms of clay to produce a singular work.
I value intention, process, and craft. Therefore, each piece is created slowly and with dedication to detail. They also retain the evidence of my hand, preserving the subtle imprint of human touch.
My goal is to create treasured pieces that radiate the spirit of nature and the simplicity of minimalist design.
