“Fuck around and find out. “
Michael Bridges is a sculptor, illustrator, and ceramics educator based in Chicago, IL. He is the Co-owner of Chicago Clay Cooperative, a member-led studio in Ravenswood. He has taught workshops across the country and exhibited in dozens of galleries.
His work draws from the emotional landscape of boyhood — familiar toys, an obsession with heavy machinery, dressing up as a cowboy for halloween for 3 years in a row, the feeling of something lurking in a dark corner of a room. Less concerned with direct representation, his work strives to find the balance between humor and simplicity.
Commissions.
I choose commissions very carefully and I take my time to make sure everyone is happy. If you are interested in starting a conversation, I’d love to hear from you.
I am also available to teach workshops.
