Puerto Rican born ceramicist, Ivy Lugo, though a young artist should not be underestimated. What she may lack in experience, she more than makes up for in passion and style. Her preferred medium, porcelain, is unwieldy and shied away from by much more seasoned potters. Its smooth texture and white finish makes it the ideal clay for obtaining true colors from glazes. From bowls to mugs to shot glasses, Ivy only produces the best quality wares. Her functional pottery is Food, Dishwasher, Microwave and Oven Safe. These pieces are just as functional as they are beautiful. Her decorative pottery would make a great addition to any home. Many of her pieces are purchased before they are even cooled, making her art a hot commodity.
