Artist

Laurie Conger

 

Type of Art

The majority of my pottery is functional. Oven proof, dishwasher safe. I love the idea of artwork you can hold, use and enjoy every single day! I work in two clays; a white porcelain blend and a iron-rich speckled stoneware.

Biography

After a career as a graphic artist and watercolorist, I started 'playing in the mud' and wound up making a commitment to ceramics. Currently a Port Austin, Michigan resident, I maintain a studio here and teach classes to beginning and intermediate level students. My pottery can be found at galleries in Rochester, Romeo and Port Austin, as well as art shows throughout the state of Michigan. Also, look for me on the Thumb Artists Studio Tour, held the 3rd weekend of June. For more information, visit www.thumbstudiotour.com.
