If you could only take one piece of ceramic art to a deserted island, what would you choose and why? | July 26, 2011

I would bring my very favorite coffee mug by Jeff Brown. It would remind me that artists can find beautiful optimism in any situation by creating. The sgraffito also gives great hand massages after trying to open stubborn coconuts and after ripping off stalks for a hut. Jeff Brown's Website - Pottery for all of your trips to sea

 

 

I guess it's not very practical, but I would bring my favorite mug too. Made by Birch Frew, it is my morning companion as I start work in my studio. It would be a comfort and help to remind of life before (and beyond the island).

The Ugly Pot. I made it in high school, I'm 42, and it's sitting in my mother's living room. Upon being stranded, I would throw the ugly thing into the sea. I would then be rescued shortly after, as my mother arrived to rescue the childhood treasure I'd one again tried to dispose of.

 

 

Oh yes, we all have those- and I think our loved ones keep them to keep us humble ;-}

I'd take a bowl... it can be a plate with a curve, a mug with some nerve and even a hat, or a home for your cat.
