Mark L. Hendrickson
About Mark
A fourth generation Californian, Mark developed an interest in ceramics while attending California State University Fullerton. Captivated by ancient looking art and art relics, Mark began experimenting with hand stretching clay, achieving unusual and exciting results by relying on the clay’s natural and random tendencies to rip, tear and create stretch marks.
Mark continues to use this technique to give his ceramic pottery and sculpture a unique and original look.
