About the Artist
Kim Press is a ceramic artist and the founder of Sailing Adrift Studios, creating one-of-a-kind pottery that honors slowness, presence, and story.
She works between Lago Vista, Texas and St. Petersburg, Florida, shaping each piece by hand as a reflection of intuition, ritual, and nature.
Her Art Drop Project, which she began over a decade ago, is a long-running offering of handmade pottery anonymously placed in public spaces around the world.
It embodies her devotion to creative generosity with a soulful connection.
