Educated in Environmental Design, Laura as a professional designer worked in luxury lighting, with three meter high paper walls and renovated an Airstream as a portable vacation home.
In her ceramics practice, she’s exploring a speculative future to create an order of reality other than the one she has been given. In 2021 she founded atelier clé, a collective ceramics studio that focuses on sharing experiences in clay with new generations and with underrepresented communities in the medium.

Creative Approach and Experiences Offered

Collective pottery patchwork is an ongoing evolution of the Collective clay tile workshop project that explores atypical and collaborative ways of making art. Each participant in the workshop is given a wet clay tile in which they sculpt, carve and texture to represent who and where they are, on their journey. The pieces are then fired and returned to the group to be decorated in a range of colourful glazes. Finally, each piece is assembled into a multidimensional mosaic and is installed as a lasting tribute to collaborative and community accomplishment.
