My Images
The work of Judith Motzkin has been exhibited nationally and internationally, with her unique flame-painted clay vessels represented in the permanent collection of the Boston Museum of Fine Arts and the Danforth Museum of Art.Her vessels have been chosen for the covers of Lark Books 500 Bowls, and Rockport Publishers Best of Pottery and the cover article in Ceramics Monthly. Her work was selected as a Mayoral gift to Cambridge sister city, Tsukuba, in Japan. Her spirit keeper jars have been urns for funeral rituals.
Motzkin's mixed media work integrates the clay work with other materials and ideas. She has had four solo exhibition of this new work, including series revolving around tea, stones, secrets, passages and losses. More recent ventures have used the clay and other objects to create large format digital prints.
Motzkin was founding director of the Cambridgeport Artists Open Studios (CAOS). She has taught as visiting artist and workshop presenter at Harvard Office for the Arts, MIT, Massachusetts College of Art and various craft programs.
She studied Asian Studies and Chinese at Cornell University, where she began working in ceramics as well. Travel to the American Southwest, Mexico, Korea and China influence her unique style of work in clay, a meld of American and Asian sensibilities.
