Kara Shapiro — Potter

I began creating with clay in 1995 while studying at the University of Washington, and I currently live and practice my art on the raw and beautiful Oregon Coast (I'm in South Beach which is 1.5 miles South of Newport). Turning clumps of clay into hand-thrown pots, mugs and bowls is like therapy for me, and I hope my passion shows in my art. I find inspiration for the ceramics I produce in the beauty of nature around me.
