Holden McCurry
Ceramic artist Holden McCurry creates distinctive
functional and sculptural art inspired by organic and
architectural forms. Combining terra-stone and white
clays with custom tinted glazes, McCurry achieves richly
colored and textural surfaces on his hand-built work,
fired to either low-fire or high-fire temperatures.
McCurry studied art at Birmingham Southern College,
architecture at Auburn University, and ceramics at The
Penland School of Crafts. His training has given him the
inspiration to create work that he finds both symbolic
and delightful.
Best known for his clay prayer towers and shrines,
McCurry places inside each piece a fold of paper on
which recipients can write their own prayer or message,
giving each tower a special purpose.
McCurry’s new work, journey boats, reflects on the
journey each individual makes through life.
