Emma Terry
Artist Exchange, Artist Interview
Emma Terry (she/her) is a Charlottesville-based ceramic artist whose work transforms clay into vessels for wonder - sculptural worlds that invite play, memory, and awe. She creates shrines, whimsical creatures, and miniature realms that honor both imagination and the beauty of everyday objects. Emma studied Anthropology at William & Mary and completed postgraduate studies in Folklore & Ethnography at University College Cork, Ireland. She is Programs & Communications Director at UVA Arts and teaches ceramics at City Clay. She is a member of the newly formed Milkweed Clay Studio where she maintains her studio practice. She believes clay is the best collaborator, full of surprises, joy, and just enough mischief to keep her curious.
