About the Artist

Noah W. Smith


I began making ceramics as a tool to delve into the seemingly simple objects we use every day. With a background in Culinary Arts and Biochemistry, I use ceramics as a vehicle to explore the combination of artistic expression, functionality, and scientific experimentation. I work on various themes in my collections, seeking to understand the ways in which materials can be combined to create beautiful works while at the same time understanding the science behind those effects.

My works are meant to be experienced and nurtured, developing a personal relationship as they are used in your life and daily rituals. Many of my collections are focused on utilitarian tableware design, imploring you to fill them with delectable meals and curiosities.

The importance of sharing knowledge and teaching others has remained a core philosophy in my practice. Through educating others and collaborating with talented artists, I aim to create a community of innovators that have a unique voice capable of discussing and exploring being through artistic output.
