ABOUT YOUR INSTRUCTORGrace Mendenhall (she/her) is a multidisciplinary ceramic artist and educator. Her pinch-formed, functionally-sculptural work is an exploration of memory, grief, and tactile connection across time.

Born and raised in Austin, TX, Grace began her clay practice as a wood-fire studio assistant at 28A Clay in the Catskill Mountains. She has since built a career firing kilns, as well as teaching beginner and intermediate wheel-throwing and hand-building at community studios including Feats of Clay Pottery, East Side Pot Shop, Tumbleweed Clay, Dougherty Arts Center, and ArtShack Brooklyn. Grace also teaches workshops in atmospheric firing, including soda, pit and barrel, raku, and wood-firing, as well as kiln building and wild clay processing.
