Will and Kate Jacobson

Kate & Will Jacobson's twenty year collaboration has given them fire, laughter, wonder and joy. Through their work they attempt to create a harmonious substance of form, line, and color. These explorations lead them to explore the world with their hearts as well as their minds. Their approach to making art is much more intuitive than pragmatic. When working, they allow the fate of the clay to reveal itself and then they embrace the experience. It's almost an involuntary response where they are simultaneously the guide and the seeker.
