Collection: JUSTIN HOFFMAN

Justin Hoffman (b.1974) is an American ceramic artist and painter based in the San Francisco Bay Area. His work constantly shifts between sculpture, vessel, and three-dimensional objects, and is heavily influenced by Japanese art and culture. Each piece is unique and made by hand. Each form is created almost in the moment and in most cases, is one-of-a kind. Hoffman approaches each piece as he would a blank canvas, ensuring layers of depth and texture. He has studied wood-firing in Japan under two master potters and has participated in a Noborigama wood-firing in Seto, Japan. He lives and works out of his private studio in Lafayette, CA.My journey started about 17 years ago in Chicago when I started first collecting mid-century modern furniture. After a few years of collecting I realized, that this is what really got me excited.
