For three decades, nationally renowned ceramist Anne Hirondelle has
pushed the boundaries of traditional pottery, producing beautiful
works that appear warmly alive and visually engaging. From her
early majestic urns to her architectural impulse for sedate forms
to her bright ropes of clay coiling to the sky, she keeps exploring
new possibilities without rejecting the traditions of her chosen
material.
Hirondelle's Port Townsend, Washington, studio is the nexus of
her creative and imaginative life. The works she has produced in
that space have been exhibited in numerous one-person shows
throughout the United States. Among the many museums whose
collections include her work are the Crocker Art Museum; Fine Arts
Museums of San Francisco; Museum of Arts and Design, New York;
Tacoma Art Museum; and the White House Collection housed at the
William J. Clinton Library in Little Rock, Arkansas.
