Ashley Paskov is a ceramic artist and educator based in Wethersfield, Connecticut. She discovered clay at Central Connecticut State University, where she earned her BA in Ceramics in 2015, and later completed her MFA at Edinboro University in 2022. She has taught and exhibited along the East Coast, from Pennsylvania to North Carolina, and served as Director of Ceramics at Pocosin Arts School of Fine Craft. Ashley currently teaches at Elizabeth City State University and Central Connecticut State University, sharing her passion for clay with students and the community.
Her work explores natural processes of growth, defense, and healing. Sculptural forms reference botanical organisms and their survival strategies through carved textures, large-scale proportions, and waxy matte surfaces. Her functional ceramics soften these ideas into intimate, everyday objects. Through both teaching and making, Ashley encourages reflection on resilience and the parallels between the natural world and human experience.
