Laurie Pollpeter Eskenazi Artist Visit at Quirks of Art

Laurie Pollpeter Eskenazi has worked with clay for over 25 years, and you can see her amazing work, and meet her, at Quirks of Art during American Craft Week, October 9th & 10th! Come see some of her favorite works, and purchase directly from the artist!

We love the story behind her fabulous ceramics... as a little girl, she was fascinated with the items found on and in her Grandmother’s dresser. It was filled with old button boxes, crazy quilts, and hand tatted lace. Her pottery is inspired by the traditional needle crafts made by women in the 19th and early 20th century.

Influenced by the colors and textures found in her travels throughout France, Italy, Spain and the rural Midwest, her pallet is lush and vibrant. Laurie Pollpeter Eskenazi is perhaps most notably collected for her mastery of glaze patterning and critical attention to detail. Her work possesses a feminine, playful touch that speaks to contemporary sensibilities with bits of nostalgia woven into each piece.
