Stephanie’s passion for ceramics began while studying sculpture at Montserrat College of Art in 2002 where 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. Current works incorporate the use of bright colored underglaze carved and scratched away to create texture and depth.

Stephanie currently divides her time between her small studio in Manchester, Connecticut and teaching at several community studios in the surrounding area. Her approach to teaching focuses on understanding the individual needs of each of her students and how they learn. Within this model she believes in developing a strong technical foundation that honors the history of the craft while also helping students to push their creative boundaries.
