Joy Brown
South Kent, Connecticut United States
A child of medical missionaries to Japan, I spent eighteen years of my life there. After college in the States, I returned to Japan to work as an apprentice in pottery for four years. In the rigorous discipline of a traditional Japanese apprenticeship, working with clay became a way of life. It defined for me an aesthetic that guides my work as well as my way of living and of being human.
I now work in Kent CT where I built my studio and 30 foot long Japanese style wood-firing tunnel kiln (anagama).
I love wood firing! I love the process and the results. I find it liberating and challenging to explore in depth the relationship between the clay I have chosen, the kiln and firing, the shapes that have evolved, and my own intention. This process of integrating these elements over many years is reflected in my work and empowers my life.
Joy’s ceramic and bronze sculpture has been exhibited in galleries and museums in the United States, Europe, and Asia, and featured in the New York Times, International Herald Tribune, Art News, House and Garden and Ceramics Monthly. In 1998 she co-founded Still Mountain Center, a non profit art organization to foster East-West artistic exchange. In 2003 Joy received the Ruth Steinkraus-Cohen Memorial Outstanding Women of Connecticut Award.
