Kari Radasch was born and raised in coastal Maine. She received her BFA from the Maine College of Art in Portland, Maine, and her MFA from the University of Nebraska - Lincoln. Her earthenware pots are at times both sparse and embellished. She revels in this dualism by collecting, arranging, and garnishing; then organizing, simplifying and editing both her forms and surface. She plucks joyous observations from her surroundings: the garden, children?s books, junk stores, compost, and stickers are her favorites. Kari reassembles and reimagines these investigations, like sketches in a sketch book, onto functional dishes -- a format which has the unique ability to hold a warm, sentimental place in our lives. Kari has taught workshops and lectured across the country. She loves to share her excitement for clay with her students.
