About Gina

Hello! I am a ceramic artist living in Los Angeles. I've always enjoyed creative expression, but I had never felt such a strong pull to create as I did when I started working with clay in 2014. I find both the process of making pottery and putting the finished products to use to be immensely fulfilling, and I love making pieces for others to use and enjoy. I began teaching ceramics classes in 2018 and it has been so rewarding to share the ins and outs of this artform with my students. When I’m not at the studio, I like to cook, dote on my cat, and explore LA. 

About My Work

I make ceramics both on and off the potter’s wheel. In my wheel thrown work I strive to create objects that are clean and modern with with touches that make them special. With hand building, I love having the freedom to make forms that are "imperfect" and have character. Finding balance between simplicity and intricacy is a continual point of consideration in my practice, and my goal is to create pieces that have their own kind of grace without being too delicate.

My studio practice, above all else, is a source of joy, fulfillment, exploration, and therapy. Whenever possible, I start each session without much of a plan and work on whatever seems the most exciting or compelling in the moment.

Most of my work is reduction fired to cone 10 in a gas kiln.

I typically make objects without a singular function or purpose in mind, so I encourage you to be creative when finding a role for one of my pieces in your home.
