Ivy Lat is based in California. She discovered her love for pottery 4 years ago while taking a pottery class as a way to unwind from her job in pharmaceuticals. Working in pharmaceuticals, you must follow many rules and regulations. Pottery is the total opposite. It's become Ivy's outlet to feel unrestricted and gives her the freedom to take chances without worrying about the consequences. Ivy likes to create organic forms that evoke a sense of movement. She starts by throwing a simple, classic form on the wheel then alters its form by adding or subtracting clay. She likes to use a glossy glaze as a base layer, then adds different colored glazes to create a spontaneous design.
