Collaborations

Family collaborations combining Joe Winter's ceramic forms and firing with illustrated, carved, and painted surface work by Shiho Winter and Hiroka Winter.

Illustrated and carved ceramic collaborations

These pieces pair Joe's thrown forms and firing with surface work by family collaborators. Shiho Winter brings painted and illustrated imagery to vases, small plates, animal figures, boxes, and tableware. Hiroka Winter's collaboration work centers on carved marine imagery on Joe's mug forms.
