Morgan Calenso

Morgan Calenso is an emerging ceramics artist, currently living and creating on Treaty 7 territory, Mohkinstsis (Calgary). Morgan has been drawn to creative expression since she was a child. She attended Victoria School of the Arts for high school, where she first fell in love with ceramics. Morgan has now been working with clay for over six years as her primary medium for artistic expression. Since starting at Alberta University of the Arts in 2018, Morgan has become infatuated with the chemistry and science involved in ceramics. Some of her work is titled to include the elements involved in the colour of the object, such as cobalt, copper, or chrome. This serves as an homage to Morgan's love of science and the endless possibilities of exploration that ceramics provide. The selection of Morgan's work at this year's Show and Sale reflects her many avenues of current research. There is a range of gas-fired and electric-fired work, with wheel-thrown as well as slip-cast forms. The consistent drive behind each is Morgan's desire to create vibrant, colourful, and unique objects that will add life and bring creative energy to a home.
