Stephanie’s passion for ceramics began while studying sculpture at Montserrat College of Art in 2002. There she enjoyed exploring the contrast of organic and architectural forms. Her work since has turned towards functional ceramics with a focus on texture and pattern. This current body of work utilizes vivid underglaze sgraffito illustrations that remain unglazed to highlight the beauty of the clay and achieve a contrast in surface texture. Stephanie currently divides her time between her small studio in Manchester, Connecticut and teaching at several community studios in the surrounding area.
