Hunt-Frank Designs

Sarah Hunt-Frank created a distinctive style of slab-rolled, two-seamed vases in tall elegant forms, with delicately implied images, inspired by Japanese art.

She admires Japanese art and design: the subtle suggestion of an image with a few simple strokes, the delicate balance of a vessel and the elegant sweep of a design.

In high school, she had art classes at Herron School of Art in Indianapolis, and Saturday classes at Purdue University. She earned degrees in art and theater at Ball State University, and have been a professional Theatrical Scenic Designer and Scenic Artist for 30 years. She began making pottery in 2015 as a hobby.

Her vases have aesthetically-pleasing almond-shaped silhouettes, the smooth surface contrasting with the rough opening at the top of the vase, and are decorated with paintings of nature. In all of my work, she strives for sophisticated, elegant forms and simple, suggestive images.
