EllePotteryDesigns

My name is Laura Bednarski. I have worked as a food stylist for my whole career in Chicago.
Working with clay is so much like working with food.

I am new to pottery and handbuilding is something I love a lot.
My style is rustic, wabi sabi, playing with textures and shapes. My style will evolve as I do as an artist. Looking forward to the journey.

In my first class we had to figure out how to mark our pieces. I chose “L”. When deciding for a name for my shop I came up with a play on my initial and that is how I got Elle!!! Just a tad bit clever I am.

I had two studio dogs until this past year when we lost our lab Baby. She is featured in my video. My studio dog now is Lucy who was a beagle rescued from the breeding facility in VA. She is my best friend.

Special thanks to Amy for taking class and introducing me to hand building. To my teachers thus far Vivian, Roberta and Natalie! You are so amazing and skilled.

All of my items used for props or dishes are lead free and food safe.
