The Meredith League of New Hampshire Craftsmen Fine Craft Gallery is delighted to welcome 2025 juried member ceramic artist Tori Motyl, known for her striking and large-scale vessel pottery. This bold body of work explores the intersection of form, scale, and material, pushing the boundaries of traditional pottery into the realm of contemporary sculpture.

Tori grew up in New York and from her early years she began working with clay which stayed with her throughout college and into her adult years. Tori’s journey brought her to Asheville, North Carolina where she did an apprenticeship that developed her love for big vessels. So from beginning with dinnerware, Tori’s focus went to over-sized terracotta pieces that create their own presence in a room.

Tori’s signature large vessels combine ancient techniques with a modern sensibility, showcasing the raw beauty of clay through powerful silhouettes and earthy glazes. Each piece balances strength and abstraction, reflecting themes of endurance, transformation, and timelessness. Tori’s vessels are rooted in tradition, but their scale and presence transform them into something more contemplative and architectural. She designs her beautiful vessels to be in harmony with their space, whether inside or outdoors.

Tori Motyl’s dedication to craftsmanship and innovation as seen in her monolithic pots are magnificent and inspiring. The Meredith Fine Craft Gallery is proud to display Tori’s striking work and invite you to stop by for a visit. For more information please call the Gallery at 603-279-7920 or visit our web site Meredith.nhcrafts.org. The League of NH Craftsmen Gallery is located at 279 DW Hwy. Meredith, NH.
