About the Artist:
Melissa Weiss is a full time artist working primarily in clay. She lives and works in Asheville, NC. She is originally from NYC. She graduated from SVA with a BFA in photography in 2000. Melissa took a clay class for the first time in 2004. She set up a studio shortly after that and continues experimenting and exploring this inexhaustible material. She has taught and exhibited ceramics across the United States. Melissa makes illustrative, functional ceramics from wild clay dug from her land in the Arkansas Ozarks, the traditional territories of the Caddo,Osage and Quapaw tribes. Her work strives to illuminate the sweetness and fortitude of humanity. She is inspired by all people fighting for liberation and a just world.
