About the Artist
Laura Caroline Casas is a Mexican-American potter and illustrator from Columbia, NC. She graduated from Western Carolina University in 2018 with a BFA in Studio Art. Her artwork is exhibited and collected nationally and internationally. Laura is a Clay Studio Coordinator and instructor at the Pullen Arts Center in Raleigh, NC . She currently lives and works on her colorful + narrative pieces from her home studio in Youngsville, NC along side her family of cats and husband, Mason.
My pottery is hand-built from red earthenware; pinched, coiled and decorated with an array of colored slips and underglazes. I aim to create wares that resonate with the user all while expressing my inherited cultural memory through narrative and latent energies; incorporating kitschy motifs and embracing girlhood with graphic lines and anamorphic characters. I acknowledge not only my own identity as a contemporary latine individual with an illustration style influenced by 90s + early 2000 animation, but engage with the traditional mexican red clay pottery and indigenous history through my forms, clay choice, color palette and techniques.
