Alana Cuellar Clay

I am a second generation potter, raised in Venezuela and now living in the St. Croix Valley of Wisconsin. The pots I make are traditionally functional, but also function as sources of comfort and strength. I believe handmade objects are imbued with some quiet magic that combats isolation and boredom with humanity and joy. Most of my pots are thrown on a treadle wheel, and then trimmed or altered with added textures and patterns.
