Rory Shamlian is a ceramic artist and lighting expert based in Burlington. At Rory Pots, she designs and creates hand-made functional and sculptural ceramic forms for the home including lighting pieces, kitchenware, and objects. Her relationship with ceramics began as a source of grounding during the deep winters of Vermont and quickly became an all-consuming study of design and craft. Rory’s work is influenced by experiences we each hold as humans - the connection, the fatigue, the desire - through contemporary interpretations of the bygone eras of design.

Come out to Rory’s lecture to hear where she finds rhythm in her work & what drives her to make art ➰
