MEET CARO!
Brought up in Falls Church, Virginia, and the Adirondack Mountains in New York, Caro Worley began her creative journey through dance. In college she came to sculpture, and found her intuitive medium - clay. She has a Bachelor of Fine Arts with a focus in ceramics from Guilford College. During her time at Guilford, she was a TA for the beginner ceramic course frequently, giving her plenty experience teaching ceramics. She also took care of studio chores, such as recycling clay and cleaning.
Her most recent exhibition highlights her self developed process of collecting and processing “wild” clay from the ground. She sculpts the clay in her hands, as her mind wanders through its embedded photo gallery - a reflection of time spent in nature. Caro then fires the pieces in a small wood stoked train kiln. She works with the flames path, allowing the fire’s mark to have the final touch on her art. Through her process and creations, she hopes to show that we are all connected, that everything you touch is made of earth - including yourself.
