Ilse Moreau
Throws stoneware vessels shaped like stones the river has worn smooth.
About Ilse
Ilse Moreau trained as a furniture maker before she moved to clay. She throws and carves stoneware in a shared studio off Metropolitan Avenue and fires it in a wood kiln upstate twice a year. Ash from the firing settles on each piece, so no two glazes ever come out the same.
