Potter Mercedes Munoz is a fifth generation Alaskan from Juneau who grew up in a family supportive of the arts. Her grandmother is the late Rie Munoz, one of Alaska's most well-loved artists who created colorful depictions of life in the state. While Mercedes spent quality time with her grandmother, who fostered a love for art, she forged a path of her own. Working with ceramics and illustration, Mercedes creates usable art with a taste for whimsy.
Mercedes will be in Anchorage for a pop-up show at Double Shovel Cider Company on Friday, November 24 from 5 to 8 p.m.
On this episode she tells us about how family and place influence her work, her approach to pottery and more.
