SIMONE BODMER TURNER

After spending several years developing a personal practice and traveling to work with clay communities in Japan and Oaxaca, SIMONE BODMER TURNER founded the studio with the inception of the permanent collection in 2018, which allowed her to move into working in the studio full time. The permanent collection was designed to be a timeless, complimentary group of curvy ceramic forms, emphasizing the power of negative space, and heavily influenced by the bridged, multi-necked forms of Meso-American stirrup vessels. The collection has grown into a second edition, Permanent Collection II, adding new forms that riff off the most sought after forms in the original collection, and introduce a miniature series of Più Vessels. The pieces in this Collection II are intended for minimal, ikebana style floral arranging or to stand on their own as sculptural objects.

In Spring 2020, SBT converted the private studio into a both workspace and showroom, building out the showroom by teaching herself to sculpt organically on an architectural scale. The studio will open for visits by appointment in October 2020.
