Zoe Nelson completed their undergrad in Spring 2022 with a BFA in Ceramics at CSU Sacramento where they explored technique, process, and finding one’s ever-growing love for clay. During the summer of 2022, Zoe worked for the Mendocino Art center where they helped host several making and firing workshops; Through this, they received training, knowledge, and crucial experience in wood-firing as well as working closely with several visiting artists. With an interest in design, Zoe likes to work heavily with implied texture in both the sgraffito and Mishima techniques. Using the ceramic body as a canvas for design they continue to experiment with form, firing types, and different genres of imagery in their work.
