Perch Objects

Trained as an industrial designer—with years designing for industry powerhouses like West Elm and David Weeks—Amy's work is the result of an intentional spontaneity that allows the concepts and processes of each piece to inform the final product. Each piece starts with a sketch, followed by a 3D model, glaze trials, technical drawings and, of course, numerous failed attempts.

 

After years of working exclusively in clay, Perch Objects has recently begun revisiting other materials — namely brass, concrete and wood — embracing a more experimental approach to the process.

 

In addition to her practice, Amy teaches Product Design at Parsons School of Design in New York and teaches workshops locally, at the Kingston Ceramics Studio and through her Backyard Clay Workshops series.
