Lori Katz works as a ceramic artist in the Washington, DC area. Her work has been selected for juried and invitational exhibitions in the US, Europe and Asia, and is included in public and private collections throughout the world.

Eight years ago, Katz began working almost exclusively in a palette of black and white in what was a conscious effort to simplify process and design. Lately, color is finding its way back in as her work continues to evolve. She has learned that in the end, process is never simple and good design is always balanced and strong.

Lori’s current focus is work for the wall. The pieces are stoneware. Additions to the raw surface can include contrasting clays, slips, underglaze and high temperature wire. Post firing additions can include acrylic paint, oil paint, cold wax and metal leaf.
