Kaitlyn Brennan
Kaitlyn Brennan creates food safe handmade functional earthenware pottery. Pottery is a formed using hand-building and wheel throwing techniques often combining the two. All of the pots have beautiful textured surfaces with bright and colorful illustrations ranging in theme from rainbows to flowers to pineapples to moons. Kaitlyn starts with an idea for a story she wants to explore and challenges herself to tell it using as many building and mark making techniques as possible with each adding another layers to the story and increasing the richness of the surface.
