HeyJa Do is a fashion designer, visual art and ceramic artist based in New York. While her ceramics have been featured in gallery exhibitions, museums, and in the private collection of hotels, Bradley discovered her pieces in the basement of her NYC shop Dear:Rivington+. Her mastery of form and exemplary use of raw texture create vividly emotional pieces that we knew we could not leave the city without.

Now, at Dixon Rye, we are featuring pieces from three distinct collections - each with their own personality and evocative feelings.

Each and every piece goes through months of intricate hand work by HeyJa in New York. A dense sculpting clay is first hand formed then inside is glazed with cone 6 and 10 for high and medium temperature density firing. A proprietary black or white terra sigillata, a brushed on slip that antedates the first century, is used to finish the surface which creates its cracked surface. They are not only functional pieces but as their own sculptural objects which are curated to work well collectively and as an independent piece.
