I love a good challenge when it comes to thinking about construction. I mostly do slab hand building so transforming flat planes of dirt into dimensional curvy shapes is a thrill. I love to explore extremes - from the most small and fragile porcelain with subtle surface treatment to large and bold stoneware with strong graphic pattern. I have a great appreciation for simplicity within those two extremes.

Larry Laughlin (he/him)
Studio Artist

Hello, I'm Alice! A potter by trade, designer by training, and teacher by profession. I was a high school art teacher in CA for ~10 years before moving to Seattle in 2017. Nowadays, you'll find me elbows deep in clay 6 days a week, hawking my wares at markets almost every weekend, and out in Seattle soaking up the art & culture at theaters and museums.
