Collection: Designers: Cassandra Scanlon

Cassandra Scanlon (Chicago) is a ceramic and textile artist who combines everyday objects' functionality with the history and formal qualities of abstraction. Before establishing her design practice, Scanlon worked extensively in technical design and product development, giving her a keen understanding of how function can be expanded to embrace artistic innovation. She uses various techniques to create her ceramic works, including wheel throwing, hand building, and slip casting. Most recently, she has been exploring Neriage pottery techniques, incorporating chattered surfaces into her stoneware to create finishes inspired by the natural colors and textures found in nature.
