Carole Epp is a Canadian ceramic artist, curator, writer, and community builder living and working in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan. Her studio practice centers dialogues about current political and social concerns through the lens of dismantling privileged social structures, art as activism, and the complexity of the human condition as narratives displayed on functional ceramics. Through illustration that captures the innocence of youth, nostalgia, and the potential of hope, she addresses difficult topics through common everyday objects. A fierce advocate for the ceramics community, she was editor of Musing About Mud for 16 years, an online blog that showcases information, calls for entry, exhibitions, and artist profiles related to the ceramic arts. She is the co-founder of Make and Do Ceramics, which is a Canadian collective focused on the promotion of Canadian ceramics internationally. In 2020, she co-authored The Encyclopedia of Inspiration: Ceramics (Profiles of Potters and Artisans) through Uppercase Publishing. In 2021, she curated a major exhibition of 88 artists for the Ceramics Congress showcasing ceramics from across Canada to an international audience.
