Instructor AJ Byrd is an artist whose ceramic practice is steeped in ritual and observation. They use simple, intentional forms as a canvas to contemplate what they witness; be it the joy of seeing a bird they’ve never seen before, or the immense grief of change. They share their ceramics and the process of creating as a way to encourage some slowness in a rapidly changing world.

AJ’s work can be found on instagram or on their website.
