gwendolyn yoppolo is a maker, thinker, and educator whose sensuous designs challenge the ways we nourish ourselves and others within contemporary food culture.  Through a minimalist design that attracts the quiet eye and responsive touch, her forms invite you to access your own silence, listening to the echoes of her gestures for the sounds of your own resonance.  Her work goes beyond the visual and tactile to engage our mental and emotional ways of perceiving our world.

Rooted in tradition and practicality, utilitarian ceramics can actually serve as radical, transformative art.  Dining is a multisensory experience that engages us beyond the level of physical nourishment to ignite our sense of selfhood, relationship, ancestry, and culture.  Experience with handmade pottery stretches those sense organs and alters the scripts by which we interact around food.
