Wares With Whimsy: Lyndsie Harris talks creating character and color in clay.
“Anything silly and colorful with a retro twist” is ceramicist Lyndsie Harris’s jam. This talented potter specializes in whimsical teapots, bowls, cups and other items that look like works of art straight out of Wonderland or perhaps a pop art museum…but are, in fact, meant to be used. Yes, you can eat and drink from nearly all of Harris’s wares, clean them with the help of an automatic dishwasher and even safely heat them up in the microwave. The only thing you can’t do is find anything else like a Harris piece: Each one-of-a-kind object is thrown, formed and glazed by hand before being fired in the artist’s home studio in Ojai. The artist hopes her pieces are used, and often, while bringing a bit of color and delight into everyday life.
