the maker.
Hi! My name is Gabrielle [she/they], based out of Lenapehoking / NYC. I’ve been practicing the craft of ceramics — both wheel-throwing and handbuilding — since 2018, & loving it more each day. You can find me making & teaching ceramics in Queens, Brooklyn, & Manhattan.
In addition to being a ceramicist, I am an educator, occasional writer, and all-the-time learner & activist. Academically trained in psychology & social work, I worked for over 12 years in the field of human rights & civil rights. I continue to be dedicated to practices of abolition & creation, decolonization, justice, healing, & restoration across my life. As an overflow of that work, my pottery is a practice in embodying values of community & generosity, deeply driven by the foundations of my faith.
I love connecting with folks and hearing people’s stories, so always feel free to reach out, pottery-related or otherwise — xo.
