About the Artist
About Maggie Boyd:
"I am a canadian living in nyc while making clay things and drawings and sculptures. I also love to teach classes about ceramics and how I approach drawing on and with clay. On top of having a studio practice, teaching, raising some fun kids, and trying to stay on top of the laundry, I am also the 2026 artist in residence for LAND gallery in Brooklyn, which is a gallery and studio for adults with developmental disabilities. You want to have your mind blown? go look at the work being made there. I also wrote a book that will be coming out in fall of 2026 through Sacred Bones called HOW TO MAKE A POT, which is mostly about what the title suggests but also about other stuff like our place in the non-order of things and what it means when we make something, anything at all. I love working with clay. I love helping other people do the same thing."
