About

Angela Newman makes modern ceramic pieces with a wild, careful imagination.

Tigermilk Ceramics grew from a lifelong pull toward clay: high school ceramics classes, years of practice, and the steady honing of handbuilding and wheel throwing techniques.

Angela draws inspiration from her daughters, live music, Austin landscapes, expressionist art, ancient tribal and folk patterns, and collage.
