Pamela Sunday

Overview
Pamela Sunday makes ceramic sculptures inspired by nature and science. Her interest in natural forms dates to childhood, when she played alone in the woods, combing the ground for fossils and hiding in hollowed out trees. She is known for meticulous craftsmanship and the inventiveness with which she explores the outer limits of her materials. Her expert use of hand building techniques renders each work she makes unique. 

Her wood-fired pieces are gently undulating organic forms that celebrate the uniqueness of wood-fired ceramics. These sculptures are as pleasing on the tactile level as they are visually, smooth to the touch and inviting interaction. Another series of newer works are more upright, resembling molecular structures. Some of the sculptures are high gloss and others are speckled with meticulously applied engobe dots, imbuing them with contrast and texture.
