Handmade Ceramic Trophies / Vessels by Sara Gates #A-C
New small vessels pottery by Brooklyn artist Sara Gates. Hand build in perfectly wonky shapes, these little "Trophies" are hand built by Sara in her studio. Mixing matte and glossy glazes in blue, green and brown tones that remind you of the sea, and the vessels are a bit reminiscent of antique vases found at the bottom of the ocean. Sara makes these one-of-a-kind pieces as whimsical nods to life and small victories.
About these pieces, she says:
"The rules of the game have changed.
We celebrate the small victories.
We learn new skills, we have fun.
We belong to something bigger than ourselves.
A symbol of inclusion and perseverance.
Made by hand for every occasion, not just a winning occasion.
A gift for a friend, a stranger and yourself."
Get one as a gift or build your own little still life mixing and matching! Sizes vary from 3 to 4" tall and each is one-of-a-kind. Not food safe.

About the artist:
Sara Gates is a multidisciplinary artist and collaborative printmaker whose work pushes the structural boundaries of printmaking, painting, and sculpture. She earned her BFA in Painting from Syracuse University in 1999, a Postgraduate Diploma in Fine Art from the Chelsea College of Art in London in 2004, and her MFA in Painting from the Pratt Institute in Brooklyn in 2006.
In 2006, Gates founded Kingsland Editions, a premier Brooklyn-based print studio dedicated to experimental printmaking and collaborative fine art publishing. As a master printer, she has partnered with a diverse roster of contemporary artists to realize highly ambitious, limited-edition works that bridge the gap between traditional techniques and modern innovation.
Alongside her collaborative practice, Gates maintains a rigorous, evolving solo studio practice that explores the intersections of form, surface, and medium. Both her collaborative and personal work has been exhibited and collected by numerous galleries and museums.
