Artist Statement:

“My work is about doing the same thing over and over and finding something new every time. I pinch pots and decorate them with repetitive patterns, poetic musings on human connection, and dramatic observations of daily life. I aim for my work to be soft and human—a subtle celebration of imperfection and overwhelming emotion.”

Courtney Hassmann is a ceramic artist in Houston, Texas. She received her BFA from the University of North Texas in 2016. She pinches pots, cries a lot, and loves her pets to death.
