BIO

Kristina Chetcuti began working with clay in 2012, in her hometown Ann Arbor, Michigan. She studied studio art for two years at Kalamazoo College, with an emphasis on ceramics, woodworking, and 3D object exploration. In 2018, she began studying Ceramics at Sheridan College, and will receive her Bachelor’s of Craft and Design (Ceramics) in 2021.

Kristina’s work celebrates the traditions and the generous heart of kitchens, the table, and the breaking of bread. Through clay, Kristina expands the philosophy of farm-to-table to become, farm, studio, and table, confirming that the makers, growers, and community are all part of one movement.

CAPSTONE PROJECT

AROUND THE TABLE

My love of the kitchen awakened my appreciation of clay. Cooking and ceramics share common heritage. They evolved together through preparation, serving, and sharing, influenced by culture, family, and tradition. Many elements of Michigan, Ontario, and Malta inspire my work, from the colours of their landscape and seasons, to their agricultural practices, gastronomy, and cuisine. I believe in the importance of surrounding oneself with objects that nurture and promote beauty and reflection. My work celebrates the traditions and the generous heart of kitchens, the table, and the breaking of bread. Through my work I hope to expand the philosophy of farm-to-table to become, farm, studio, and table, confirming that the makers, growers, and community are all part of one movement.
