FEATURED MEMBER: Introducing Mel Brimmer! Mel cuts hair at a salon they co-own. During their free time, Mel likes to “Read, fuss over my plants, spend time by the water,” and of course, make pottery!
Mel has been working with clay for a little over a year, and began with a wheel class taught by a friend. Then, Mel began taking more and more classes and discovered the joys of hand-building. When asked about how they approach the craft, Mel said “Play, process and resistance to perfection! For me, clay is an opportunity to create without an agenda or expectations of myself.”
Mel likes Mill Pond Ceramics Studio because “Everyone is so engaged in their own niches, and so curious about other members' processes and results. It’s a great resource to be able to tap into.”
