Bridget Fox is a full time ceramic artist who creates colorful, textured exotic forms in clay called Mudventions. She grew up in Knoxville,TN loving art and science classes and exploring the great outdoors. Her desire for a creative life profession using her hands drove her to pursue an art degree at the University of Georgia where she received a BFA in Ceramics in 1996. Since then she has continued to grow her education by taking intensive workshops in architectural ceramics, glaze formulation, slip casting and mold making. Exploring the endless capabilities of ceramics fuels her creative fire. Her persistent dedication to creating one of a kind pieces in her unique style has won her many awards.
All of her creations are exclusively made by her using handbuilding techniques combined with wheel thrown and press molded forms. She uses her own personally made custom stamps, various found objects, and a special collection of unusual natural specimens to texture her forms. A wide spectrum of glazes are hand painted on to enhance the surface details. Over the years her firing focus has ranged from raku, to pit firing, to wood firing, to methane gas firing. She currently enjoys the efficiency and glaze dynamics of controlled cooling cone 6 electric firing.
After completing a residency at the Energy Xchange she decided to remain in the mountains of western North Carolina surrounded by an environment of inspiring natural beauty and an amazing creative community. Her current studio is in the Shops at Celo outside Burnsville, NC. She offers much gratitude to those who support her artistic passion to cultivate a rare undersea garden of earthly treasures, cerebral concoctions and cosmic delights.
