If you've ever stepped off the T at Brookline Village, you've likely walked past Feet of Clay studio. It's unassuming storefront is home to a host of wonderfully talented artists and exceptional facilities. FOC is a small potters cooperative that brings together people of all ages and skill levels.
For the past year, I had the pleasure of being an intern. During my tenure, I have learned the behind-the-scenes skill sets required to keep the the studio running; from glaze-making to pugging (recycling clay) to kiln loading. Though I'd taken a couple of ceramics classes in high school and during college, learning these new skill sets augmented my appreciation for the craft.
I was very excited to participate in the FOC spring show. Below, are some pictures from my collection.
