About Robin

“My clay odyssey commenced with an imaginary animal assignment in the seventh grade where I realized that I could give form to my fantastical imaginings. Mythical beasts as well as their more prosaic fellows (warthogs, rabbits, musk oxen, etc.) have continued to take shape in my studio henceforth.”

Robin Henschel received her BFA from Massachusetts College of Art and Design. After graduation. she and five other artists founded the Feet of Clay Studio in Brookline Village, MA. which continues to flourish as a center for clay artists and students. Her education also included courses and workshops at the Harvard Pottery and the Clay Art Center where she also teaches. Her work has won many awards and is in the collection at Wellesley College.

She lives and works in Westchester, New York, and is a full-time artist at Clay Art Center, where she has also served on the Board of Directors.
