About: My ceramic work is primarily thrown on the wheel and hand-painted with underglaze. It is made from very durable porcelain clay which is food safe, and microwave and dishwasher friendly. I often color the clay itself using powdered mason stains. Then I paint on top of that colored background and fire the clay in a high-fire reduction kiln. I like to imagine each piece after it leaves my studio and continues its life in someone’s home. It brings me endless satisfaction to share with others and communicate through clay. I believe that daily rituals with handmade vessels can enrich our lives with joy, meaning, and community.

About: I am a local Berkeley glass artist. During November and December my North Berkeley studio will be open on most weekends – look for the open signs for my glass studio across from Indian Rock Park.
About: All handmade items are created with time and care. Some fiber pieces have repurposed and recycled elements. I enjoy drawing in my sketchbook from now and then which is the source of inspiration for my digital prints.
About: When working, I rarely has a finished piece in mind, but more an interest in seeing where the process of making will lead. I approach my work with curiosity and a direct quality of line that has aliveness. Although the work is personal it taps into the universal. My hope is that you will enjoy experiencing the work as much as I enjoy making it. Studio visits and small group classes are always welcome. Instagram: @thelaurenari
