Ceramic Artists Talk with Laurie Pollpeter Eskenazi

On April 10, 2024, in partnership with the Homer Township Public Library, the Lemont Artists Guild is pleased to present, at the library, Laurie Pollpeter Eskenazi who is an award-winning ceramic artist, and will talk about her clay process and techniques that transform vintage designs into her unique contemporary stoneware. Laurie’s pottery pieces are inspired by 19th and 20th century traditional women’s needle crafts and are most notably collected because of her mastery of glaze patterning and critical attention to detail. PLEASE REGISTER AT: https://www.homerlibrary.org/ceramic Laurie’s love for ceramics started in high school. When her teacher could no longer teach Laurie new things, Laurie was able to take college classes in ceramics while still in high school. Laurie graduated with a BFA from the Art Institute of Chicago. Her pieces are one of a kind and made with her own stamps and tools. Besides selling in galleries around the country and in Canada, Laurie does many shows each year including trade shows and the famous Chicago’s “One of a Kind” show. Laurie works full time in her studio building on her property and fires up her kiln at least once or twice a week, sometimes daily. She will bring examples of her work and some clay along with handmade tools for participants to try.
