Kilnwork PDX

Portrait of Marisol Reyes-Hahn

Marisol Reyes-Hahn

Marisol fires a small gas kiln off Foster Road and has been dealing studio pottery for as long as she has been making it. She writes her own condition reports and photographs every piece herself, on the same sheet of paper, so a hairline looks like a hairline and not like a shadow.

If I would not put it on my own table without explaining it first, it goes in the report.
