A splash of colors can make pretty much every work of art a little bit more spectacular, including ceramic pieces. No one knows this better than Christine Tenenholtz, who became a true sensation in the pottery world thanks to crafting some of the most colorful ceramics that you’ll ever come across.
Tenenholtz was interested in art from a young age, but it took her a while to discover pottery. Needlework and sewing were her first obsessions, and she went on to study photography at university, but never ventured behind the doors of a ceramics studio until a friend suggested she should give it a try.
“It wasn’t until after I’d graduated college in 1989 and moved into my first apartment that a friend convinced me to take an evening ceramics class at a community studio. Once I got in there, I was hooked. Nothing in my life had ever captivated me like clay,” she explains on her official website.
She learned the basics in this class and kept honing her skills in the years to come, studying with various instructors. Her obsession with pottery reached its peak after she gave birth to her son and started working from her makeshift garage studio,
Her business experiences many transformations over the years, but she’s now working from her home studio in Albuquerque, New Mexico, selling her work online, and running an Instagram page with over 100,000 followers.
