Kari Woolsey is a ceramic artist, originally from South Florida. Her work focuses on the everydayness of objects and vessels around us, through making functional pottery and installations. Kari’s handbuilt pots are in terracotta and mid-range stoneware and are constructed by coiling and pinching. All patterns, colors, and shapes are inspired by the domestic realm of our lives.
