Steven is one of the nine artists participating in Sticks + Stones | Palos + Piedras exhibition at Earth Art Studio.

His piece entitled, possible votive artifact, provenance unknown SJ-1112-TS has metallic oxides, glazes and has gone through multiple kiln firings to achieve its surface.
About the Artist:
Steven discovered ceramics almost by accident, taking a summer pottery class with his mother while home from college in North Carolina. He was lucky enough to work for four years under well-known Japanese ceramic artist Hiroshi Sueyoshi; acquiring an attention to aesthetic detail and craftsmanship that guides his work to this day. He went on to study and assist at a variety of schools and studios where he learned a broad range of traditional and cutting-edge techniques.
Steven founded Barro Sur Studio in 2020, providing the Todos Santos community with its premier location for ceramic classes, artist workspace, ceramic supplies and a fully equipped studio with which to follow his own artistic path in clay. He loves creating ceramic sculpture and truly enjoys creating functional art and vessels for the home. During this years studio tour both sculptures and a variety of functional ware will be on display and available.

About the Art:
The desert environment, with its sparse landscape and arid environment has for millennia been seen as a place of discovery. Preserved traces and artifacts of persons of mysterious origin are part of the lore surrounding our attraction to the desert the world over. Steven Jacobi continues his “unknown provenance” series with this piece, in which he seeks to touch on an emotional connection to the lives of others we can never truly know, yet feel the commonality of our shared humanity all the same.
