Artwork

My unique artwork celebrates the feminine form and my passion for clothes. The figures live at the intersection between fashion and figurative sculpture.

Cloth2Clay is the Story of a Fashion Designer’s Morph

from the creation of dresses in cloth to ceramic sculptures in clay.

“ For me, fashion is a powerful statement - a synthesis of art and culture that captures a moment in time. It’s a snapshot of a person that reflects not just who they are, but who they want to be. By turning fashion into sculpture the dress is memorialized, maybe even immortalized!”

- Renée Chase, Founder of Cloth2Clay

“2D to 3D - Inspired Making! Liked seeing all the details and shaping. The concept of steading oneself, as a transference of energy. I like the concept of singing or saying poetry, as one weaves or creates, so as to weave in the soul and intention. The maker and the giftee are then connected. Just beautiful and await more creations!”

- Chanda B.

“My wife was ecstatic! I found this service at a wedding show that I was at and ordered it for my wife who is impossible to shop for because she has everything. This was so special and such a heart warming gift that my wife is still talking about it.”

- Jim B.

“Renée, my dad gifted my mom your beautiful sculpture for their anniversary, and my mom was completely blown away. These are the words my mom wished to share with you: “Thank you for making such a wonderful gift that is a constant reminder of my strong and loving marriage. Your sculpture replaced a beautiful dress that was seemingly irreplaceable. I will cherish this piece forever and the happy memories it brings. Thank you so much!”…”
