Bruce Edelstein was educated at St Martin’s London and the Otis Art Institute (MFA). In the mid 1980’s, Edelstein moved to New York City with an invitation to create stage sets for the experimental dance company, The Moving Earth. In 2006, a trip to Oaxaca led to an interest in ceramics. He was attracted to the use of terracotta so present in the daily life of the culture. In the summer of 2019 Edelstein traveled to Colombia where he began working at a traditional factory of tiles and bricks called a “chircal.” Here he competed a number of sculptures using terracotta. In addition to his studio work over the last 20 years.
