The Collaborative Mini Malm Burner series is aimed at working with other artists to create a crossover body of work. I hope that the outcome is a bunch of amazing pieces, plus, it will be a way to cross promote our work to each others audience!

The February 2024 Collaborative Artist is Renee LoPresti!

Renee LoPresti grew up in rural northwest New Jersey. In 2009, she earned her BFA from the New York State College of Ceramics at Alfred University in ceramics and glass. After graduating, she moved to Texas for a position as a production glassblower, yet continued to dream about working in clay again. Serendipitously, she later found Eye of the Dog Art Center in San Marcos, Texas where she has been working as an Artist in Residence for the past several years. She teaches workshops and shows her work through numerous national juried exhibitions, including the San Angelo Museum of Fine Arts for the 21st National Ceramic Competition. In 2017, Renee was named one of Ceramics Monthly’s Emerging Artists.

The Mini Malm Burner is an incense burner with Mid-Century Modern Vibes in a Compact Package! This sleek and stylish incense burning collection is inspired by the iconic mid-century metal fireplaces.

The Mini Malm Burner sculpture emulates the popular Midcentury design fireplace of the same name. It is perfect for burning cone, rope, paper, or any other incense! Each sculpture stands approximately 9" high and 4" at the widest point, and comes in a rainbow of ten glaze colors: Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Teal, Blue, Purple, Stone, Black, and White. Each Mini Malm Burner is handmade from stoneware and no two are exactly alike.

Today, mid-century modern metal fireplaces are highly sought after by collectors and enthusiasts of retro design. Their unique blend of functionality and artistic appeal continues to resonate with those seeking to incorporate a touch of mid-century modern style into their homes. Our goal is to make this charming design more accessible to the masses by making it small enough to fit into any space!
