About
Hannah Cupp grew up enjoying crafting and exploring the woods around her house in northern Georgia. When working toward her BFA from Clemson University, she fell in love with clay and the process of creating art that brings people joy when used in day to day life. Following college, Hannah moved on to be a resident at StarWorks as well as the North Carolina Pottery Center. She currently works with potters in Seagrove, NC learning the trade while also working in production pottery to hone her skills throwing on the wheel. Having background in drawing and a passion for the ceramic process, she found a way to focus these two mediums into a single practice. Hannah creates functional forms decorated with gestural and delicate line drawings intending to have a contrast between the delicate lines and the harsher volatile surface the atmosphere from wood firing creates.
