Ethan McKellar is a ceramic artist who makes utilitarian ceramic objects utilizing atmospheric firing. These dynamic surfaces are the result of their environment and the ability of the ceramic process. Each object is embued with its own identity and presence.

The feeling of powerlessness is a modern constant instilled through the objects around us. Our culture is boiled down to disposability and lacking a sense of permanence.

Objects permeate our space and deliver to us its purpose: to be used.

To take an object designated as waste and make it more precious.
