Oceah Clark
Born into a family of artists, Oceah Clark sculpted his first clay at the age of 5. It was the type of piece only a mother could love, and one that she still prizes. He has yet to stop exploring clay, a medium both humble and infinite, and one of Oceah’s favorite paths to a state of meditative calmness.
He honed his sculpting and wheel-throwing techniques at the University of Oregon, earning a BA in Multimedia Design, and has since produced unique collections in Boston, Seattle, Portland, Vancouver, Canada, Buenos Aires, Argentina, and here in Mexico City. Inspired by shapes of antiquity, Oceah looks to blend form and function into contemporary vessels both minimalist and refined.
Working with Oceah will involve preparatory sketching and form visioning as well as consideration of scale, utility and clay as a medium. While wheel-thrown pottery will be the focus, our exploration can also include sculpting – a beautiful path to one-of-a-kind treasures.
Creative sessions will take place in Oceah’s rooftop garden ½ block from Casa Lienzo, the perfect environment to inspire exploration of one of humanity’s oldest arts.
