About Michelle Bach
"Utilizing mid-range stoneware clays from around the United States and commercial brush-on glazes, I create wheel-thrown ceramic bowls at home in my garage studio. Throwing clay is deeply fulfilling to me and has allowed me to integrate my interior design background, further exploring the themes of color, flow and function. My aspiration is that when someone holds one of my creations, they will experience the same sense of contentment that I derive from its conception. I also hope to imbue every piece I craft with meaningful connections. They serve as a tangible bridge, connecting people as they use and share my bowls."
Having dabbled in creative ventures all her life, Michelle Bach recently discovered her passion for ceramics after her homeschooled teenage daughter began taking college level classes. With a wide open schedule, she poured herself into classes and membership at Whidbey Clay Center in Freeland and has developed a body of functional work that she enjoys putting out into the world. She is also an Army Veteran, earning her BFA in Interior Design using the GI Bill. You can find her in her home studio or at Whidbey Clay Center most days, hand crafting functional ceramics which are shown here at Artworks, and also at Whidbey Clay Center, Wildly Beloved Foods, and SeaBre’s Yarn. This year she branched out and participated in various fairs and markets: Whidbey Art Market, Coupeville Arts & Crafts Festival, Whidbey Working Artists Summer Open Studio Tour, Whidbey Women & Art, and Northwest Art Alliance’s Best of the Northwest Fall Show. She is happy to settle in with her work now at Artworks Gallery. |
