Nestled in the quiet beauty of Ferndale, California, ceramic artist Larisa Stevenson brings clay to life with a sense of wonder and playfulness that is uniquely her own. What began as a simple joy in sculpting animals soon grew into a lifelong passion for ceramics. Captivated by the way clay transforms through form, texture, and color, Larisa discovered an intuitive connection to the medium—one that allows her imagination to flow effortlessly from her hands into each piece she creates.
Larisa’s work seamlessly blends function and fantasy. With techniques ranging from wheel throwing and hand building to the delicate art of horsehair pottery, she infuses every vessel with character and charm. Her signature style often incorporates whimsical animal figures, blooming flowers, and sculptural details that transform everyday ceramics into storytelling objects. Each piece is not only a functional work of art but also a conversation starter, radiating warmth, personality, and a touch of magic.
For Larisa, clay is more than a medium—it is a way of connecting with others through beauty, joy, and imagination. Whether it’s a horsehair vessel alive with striking, smoky patterns or a cup graced with a playful sculpted creature, her ceramics invite you to slow down, smile, and experience the extraordinary in the everyday. To own one of Larisa’s pieces is to bring a little spark of wonder into your home, crafted by hand and heart.
