Who gets inspired by a pile of garbage? We found someone, and his art is crazy good! Team Craft Hangout is SUPER excited to hang with trompe-l'œil ceramist, Tim Kowalczyk from Tim's Ceramics. His gorgeous works of art could be mistaken for trash at first glance, but there's more to than meets the eye. He is AMAZING, and we were thrilled to chat process, inspo, ceramics, and his weigh-in for our tribe's name.
