The Unique Work of Ceramic Artist Paul Briggs

I am amazed every time that the clay can do this. Paul Briggs is one of three featured artists at the 37th Annual Penland Benefit Auction, a celebration of contemporary craft. Pauls unique pinching process is neither additive nor subtractive but expansive, growing the form from one chunk of clay. At Penland, he has shared his innovative techniques in the clay studio. We are honored to present this original short film created for the occasion by Darren Cole.
