Zoe Minzenberger
Entrepreneur • Artist • Organizer
Chicago, IL
Zoe Minzenberger makes ceramics that honor the rawness of material and the beauty found in small choices. As cofounder of The Digs Chicago, she tends to both clay and community—building systems of care that support creative life. Her work explores domestic space as a site of intimacy and invention. Viewing objects as the scaffolding for ritual, Zoe creates functional forms that reimagine mundaneness into romance.
Zoe is accepting proposals for commission at this time.
