Artist Statement
While her functional ceramic work is the driving force of her business, Rachel also creates conceptual sculptural work and has been featured in gallery exhibitions, magazines, and online platforms. She uses surrealism to emphasize specific social, political, and environmental issues such as factory farming, workers’ rights, damaging religious ideologies, and more.
Artist Bio
Iowa based artist, Rachel Spurling, creates both functional and sculptural work from her home studio located just five minutes from the Mississippi River in the heart of Dubuque. In 2021, she launched her ceramic business, “Artist Rach Ceramics,” and has devoted a majority of her creative efforts to making and selling functional home goods to local businesses and markets.
When she’s not in her studio, Rachel enjoys teaching adult pottery classes, with the hopes of opening her own classroom one day.
