Artist: Ernster, David

I have spent my life working with my hands. There is something spiritual and precious about handmade objects. They connect us to the past, tradition, and passion of the maker - a passion I think we all feel and crave to be part of. Most of my work is conceived around this personal contact and interaction with the object. I received a BFA in Metalsmithing from the University of Iowa and my MFA in Ceramics from West Virginia University. While I do make work that is purely sculptural I am most interested in the things that we use and the ideas of containment, protection, and mystery they evoke. What really excites me are the personal objects we interact with in intimate ways in our daily lives.

Stylized birch bark covered jar, with twig handle and a deep amber glazed interior by ceramic artist, David Ernster. The matte white brushed slip surface lends itself perfectly to the impression of birch bark, and the David’s skillful brushed black strokes complete the effect. With the toasty color of the clay and firing process adding to the natural variations and characteristics, this fully functional jar is rustic and playful, as well as a sophisticated piece of artwork.

“While in essence I consider myself a sculptor I love to make functional work and sculptural vessel forms. I truly believe in the power of craft to influence our lives for the better.” ~David Ernster
