Mary Roehm

Mary Roehm is known for paper-thin wheel-thrown or cast porcelain vessels. She explores the possibilities for manipulating her vessels, often twisting, tearing the edges, and creating less than round rims. The pieces are usually left unglazed so the effects of wood-firing can be most evident. Although she creates many domestic forms, she is most well known for her bowls, pouring, and conceptual sculptural vessels. Her work is in prestigious collections including The Metropolitan Museum of Art, Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, Museum of Arts and Design in New York, Shigaraki Ceramic Cultural Park Museum, Shigaraki, Japan, and Smithsonian American Art Museum, Renwick Gallery, Washington, DC.
