Hello!

My name is Emily MacFarland, I am a working ceramic artist in Des Moines, Iowa. I make brightly patterned pottery and ceramic sculptures. All of my work is handmade either using the potters wheel, or formed by hand. Each piece is then decorated with hand drawn details using a method called sgraffito. Sgrafitto is an Italian method of decorating where a colored slip or underglaze is a applied and then carved through to reveal the clay beneath.

I work out of my studio at Mainframe Studios, 900 Keosauqua Way where I teach small group classes. My studio is #419. Please stop by and say hi at one of our monthly First Friday events. Artists have their studios open, it is a great way visit, and learn more about the artists and art being made at Mainframe.
