Leaving Los Angeles for quiet, quant Ojai was a transition that left landscape designer, Chris Brock, feeling lost. A “complete and utter novice” ceramicist, Brock signed up for a ceramics class, intending to produce Art Deco–inspired pieces. What actually transpired were was a collection of newly made ancient-looking pieces. Brock explains, “This rough, irregular quality made an intriguing contrast to that elegant 1930s aesthetic.” We think so too! This former garden designer came up with two-handled silhouettes on Etruscan forms, and added a layering of subtle colors over gray to produce a warm, aged look. We can’t wait to see what Brock’s next collection will consist of!
