One Week Until the 10th Anniversary Celebration of Claire Raack Ceramics!

Today I reflect on 2019, a year fueled by new horizons and huge steps toward my artistic goals.


I took my first trip to Hawaii to visit my brother Taylor and sister-in-law Tingting, which brought incredible new inspiration into my work. 

I'm so grateful for Taylor he is always interested in learning more about my art and has taught me so many life skills that I have applied to my small business.                                                                                                

      

Extremely grateful for my dad who has inspired my creative abilities from a young age & is always happy to bring me sustenance to keep me going at shows! Pictured is a wall hanging I made him for Father's Day & a birthday tea set, both inspired by his succulents!

2019 was the year I saved up enough to buy my very own new pottery wheel! The feeling of throwing that first piece on my own equipment was amazing. Pictured is one of those first pieces!  In 2019 I officially launched my worldwide Etsy shop! Thank you Aunt Val for being one of my first supporters on that platform and the proud owner of this special cup via Etsy!  Your detailed review helped me to land sales across the country.


Jane Cunningham, my childhood neighbor always believed in me. Pictured is a necklace Jane commissioned from me & a surprise house portrait for her 80th birthday. Rest in peace, Jane. I will never forget your interest in all my endeavors and encouragement to do the best I could in all aspects of my life!


2019 was the first year I showed my art outside of my studio, at Sparks in the City 

and experimented with fun functional pieces like birdhouses, tree toppers and hair clips!

Finally a SNEAK PEEK of some new in progress bowls, just a couple of the many new works that will be available next week!
