Your teacher
I’m Lauren, a Portland, OR-based artist working primarily in clay. I took my first pottery class in 2018 during my graduate program in applied physics. I used to joke that I felt more like an engineer in the pottery studio than at my job as an actual engineer - I loved working with my hands, and designing new work, from ideation to troubleshooting to the final product.All of my work is slab-built, a hand-building technique that does not require a wheel, and instead starts with slabs of clay that are cut, folded, and formed to create different shapes. These functional forms, like mugs and vases, then serve as a canvas for adding hand-painted patterns and illustrations.
