Erica von Schilgen has been working in several different media since receiving her BFA in Sculpture from MassArt in 2002. For many years she showed her kinetic sculpture in galleries and museums throughout New England. Recently she has fallen in love with clay and has applied her whimsical style and warm color palette to her pottery “Barn Moth Studio”. Inspired by her love of gardening, nature, and children’s books she creates intricately detailed stoneware pottery with unique surface imagery. In January she began teaching pottery at The Clay School. She lives in Nahant, MA.
