Christian Applegate (b. 1997, Toronto) is a Toronto-based multidisciplinary artist and ceramicist. Primarily hand-building utilitarian pieces made of stoneware or porcelain, their work explores the magical and transformative properties of domestic wares in every day rituals. They invite their audience to examine the intersection of the natural world and home, offering objects that have been imbued with aesthetics of nature. Inspired by classical motifs in literature and forms of ancient grecian, roman, and etruscan pottery, Applegate’s approach to the craft is often experimental, highlighting the versatility of ceramics as a medium.

Applegate is a graduate of OCAD University in Toronto and they build and fire their work out of their private studio in the Roncesvalles Village.
