In 2011, Victoria received my BFA in ceramics at the Tyler School of Art in Philadelphia, PA. She has spent the past few years studying functional ceramics at the college, as well as continuing my education through internships, various craft schools, and teaching opportunities. Her ceramic work is functional in nature, paired with hand carved or painted decorations. She strives to make my vessels an expression of everything beautiful to me, so that she may share the joy that accompanies handmade utilitarian objects.
