Michele Laverty is a ceramic artist and teacher based in the suburbs of Philadelphia. Michele has been creating since she and her childhood friend Lauren mastered mud pies under the pine trees of Woodcliffe Avenue.
For multiple decades Michele trained and practiced as a Corporate Interior Designer. After becoming a mother, she taught art to students from age three through adult. During this time, Michele transitioned her mindset from Designer to Artist. Now Michele works with porcelain and stoneware fiber-clays (a.k.a. paperclay) to extricate her own artistic expressions.
