Join us for an opening of work by Biddeford artist and ceramic studio member Hannah Hirsch during the Maine Pottery Tour.

Hannah Hirsch’s work focuses on the totality of experience, thought, and feeling that humans undergo, process, and store as they move through life. Having grown up in central and coastal Maine, Hannah’s work is influenced by the natural forms of her environment, as well as the comic strips and cartoons that filled her childhood while growing up in the early nineties. She draws upon these graphic references and natural shapes to produce bold, colorful work with strong lines and a powerful sense of character. Hannah’s creative process is also highly influenced by her lifelong journey with obsessive compulsive disorder, and how that has distorted her relationship with her own feelings and memories.
