Lori Theriault (she/her) creates functional pottery that wants to be touched and used. First inspired to make because of her own love of cooking and sharing homemade meals with friends and family, Lori now collaborates with chefs and food professionals to design service wares for their own creations. She also creates signature designs for dinner and service wares for our gallery at The Village Potters Clay Center, and her “Vincent Series”, inspired by her love of the textures in Van Gogh’s paintings, explores various carving and sgraffito techniques to a sense of texture and movement in her decorative forms.
