Adrien is a sculptor and artist based in Seattle. He studied ceramics in the California College of Arts. He’s a very talented and creative person and in our opinion, he’s a real pro in making pottery with super realistic faces. He says there’s no secret meaning behind these faces, he just likes doing this. Adrien says it’s not his job to add meaning to his projects, every person will find their own meaning in it.
The only thing that’s intentional is the facial expressions, he doesn’t get angry ones or anything like that. Adrien wants the facial expressions to be calming and sort of serene so that they can hopefully bring the feeling of calm, quiet and serenity into the life of people who buy his works. He just likes the idea of integrating art into daily life, and since eating and drinking is a daily ritual for all of us it only made sense to integrate art into cups and plates.
So how does Adrien make these wonderful plates? Well, it’s actually a pretty straightforward process. It begins with a potter wheel, like any other potter would when making a piece of pottery.
