Rachel K. Garceau is a studio artist living and working in the Atlanta, GA area, and has been recognized as a 2015 Emerging Artist by the National Council on Education for the Ceramic Arts and one of 2017's Women to Watch by the Georgia Committee of the National Museum of Women in the Arts. In 2013, Rachel completed the Core Fellowship at Penland School of Craft (NC) where she embarked on a two-year exploration of various methods and materials ranging from metal-smithing to shoe-making and ultimately fell in love with the magic of mold-making. Rachel now primarily utilizes the process of slip-casting porcelain forms to construct site-responsive installations. Her work is often born from a curiosity about an object or a place and a desire to come to a deeper understanding of it. Her current work seeks to intimately engage her audience in the materiality of porcelain and to observe their interactions with it. She has received residencies at Vendsyssel Kuntsmuseum (DK), Arrowmont School of Arts and Crafts (TN), Haystack Mountain School of Crafts (ME), All Is Leaf (MA), and the Hambidge Center for Creative Arts and Sciences (GA) as well as commissions for public works by the City of Atlanta Office of Cultural Affairs and FLUX projects. Her work has been shown nationally and internationally and has been published in Studio Potter, Ceramics Monthly, and NCECA Journal, and also appears in CAST: Art and Objects Made Using Humanity's Most Transformational Process.
