Micah - Jeremiah
Jeremiah and Micah produce their distinctive line of pottery full-time at Pridham Studio. Owners since 2011, they have established themselves as a creative production team with Jeremiah as the potter and Micah the painter.
After graduating from high school in 2001 Micah and Jeremiah moved together to Victoria to continue their education. Jeremiah became a certified welder, working in precision metal fabrication, approaching his work always from an creative, refined point of view. Micah received a Bachelor Degree in Fine Arts. She majored in Costume Design and worked in Theatre, where she honed her design, painting, and business skills. Their careers provided both with a springboard to success in taking over Pridham Studio.
Jeremiah throws a variety of shapes on the wheel including mugs, bowls, vases and spoon rests, with his mugs being one of their top selling items. He also makes a wide range of hand built slab pieces from small side plates to generously large serving bowls working in both earthenware and stoneware bodies. His pieces demonstrate his sensitive attention to detail and technical precision. He is keen to experiment as well as do production; a classic working artist.
Micah is inspired by the worldwide tradition of descriptive hand-painted pottery. Her patterns spring from her BC roots and feature landscapes, animals, and local scenes executed in her personal and heartfelt style. Her "Community Pride" series is available throughout galleries in western Canada. She also does commissioned designs for individual or corporate custom orders. She hand paints each piece individually, both front and back, using quality glazes.
