Bailey Fritz

Bailey Fritz is a functional ceramicist from East Tennessee.  During the pandemic, they began taking classes at a local ceramics studio and have been pursuing it ever since. After graduating with a degree in sustainability from the University of Tennessee in 2022, they felt drawn to merging hand-etched techniques with warm and bright earth tones to create pieces inspired by Appalachian flora and fauna. They spent the following summer working and studying at Arrowmont School of Arts and Crafts, then participated in more work exchange programs programs at the Penland School of Craft and the John C. Campbell Folk School over the following years. They currently work as a studio technician at a community ceramics studio, and you can find them selling their work at vendor markets around Knoxville.
