Melissa Mytty at the Clay Studio


I’m just loving these pieces by Melissa Mytty, the Clay Studio’s recent resident artist. Check out the show online here or in person if you can before the 28th of June. There’s also a great artist statement on the website and a few other shows running concurrently that also look amazing.
