Carrie Bea Paveglio is a ceramicist and fiber artist based in Detroit, Michigan. Guided by sensation and surprise-seeking, their work often takes the form of elaborately pinched vessels, candelabras, ritual pedestals and wall pieces combining ceramic, textiles and found objects. Existing between sculpture, functional design and devotional artifact, these works explore craft’s enduring role as a vessel for memory, care, survival and ornamentation. Before developing their studio practice, Paveglio worked in arts communications, collaborating with artists, galleries, museums and cultural organizations. They studied English and visual culture at Wayne State University and work from Detroit and Ceramics School in Hamtramck.
