Molly Hatch at the Newark Museum


By Christopher Benincasa, JerseyArts.com

originally published: 08/29/2019


We recently spoke with artist and designer Molly Hatch, whose signature style is currently on display in a large-scale ceramics installation at the Newark Museum called “Repertoire.” Hatch graduated from art school in 2008 and hit the ground running – working in the studio, selling her work, and teaching on the side. Then, international retailer Anthropologie tapped her to design her own line of products – she’s since worked with over 40 other companies worldwide, and is represented by Todd Merrill Studio Contemporary in New York City.
