Mitchell Spain

Fascinated by the preservation of the past, Mitchell Spain is a ceramic artist using highly technical processes including mold-making and porcelain slipcasting to fool the eye with his ultra-realistic, ‘rusty’ ceramic mugs, cups, flasks and more. He draws inspiration from the Iowa family farmland on which he was raised, where he now raises his children alongside his wife, Reanna. He is the author of Threaded: A Guide to Creating Ceramic Threads.
