Collab Bookends with Tony Young aka Riot Ceramics (ends 1/5/25)
I’m so excited about this pair of bookends Tony Young (Riot Ceramics) decorated in his signature style! His underglaze work is graffiti inspired with symbolic imagery plastered on every surface.
Tony graduated from Bowling Green State University and works primarily from his home studio near Columbus, Ohio. He’s been a High School art teacher for 19 years and he loves teaching art and sharing his passion for ceramics. Tony’s work has been juried into over 20 exhibitions nationwide and he’s had his work and studio tour published in Ceramics Monthly Magazine. I hope you love his work as much as I do!
About the Raffle
We made these Plant Shelfie Bookends specifically to raise money for and awareness of Com-Fusion, the ceramics community center we are building in Portugal. All the money raised will go to a savings account which will ultimately be used to pay for rent, ceramics equipment & materials, and all the things we’ll need to get this thing off the ground and hosting artists for classes, workshops, residencies and retreats. For me, this has been a dream my whole adult life (some twenty-five plus years). We already have the space for artist residencies secured, and are negotiating space for the community center! To start we’ll use Mariana’s existing space.

How we make them
These are made from a 6” planter with attached saucer that Nicole throws on the potter’s wheel. She then cut the planter in half attach a slab back to each half, and voila- Bookends! Adrienne received the the bookends leather hard, so she could alter the shape and add the mushrooms. Embellishments were added after firing and set in resin.
Each half has a drainage hole and is heavy enough to hold your books up for the ultimate plant shelfie. They also have a wire hook on the back to hang on the wall (please hang on a stud).
