Grey Drip on Brown Cup

Liz Lurie has been a studio potter for twenty years. She was introduced to ceramics in Mikhail Zakin’s classroom at Sarah Lawrence College. After graduating with a concentration in dance and ceramics, she pursued her interest in pottery full-time when she left her native Manhattan to become a member of a wood-fired kiln collective in rural Georgia. After setting up studios and building wood-kilns in both Dallas, TX. and Greene NY., Lurie established a studio outside of Chittenango, NY., where she teaches community classes and maintains a showroom.

Lurie’s work has been exhibited nationally, most notably at AKAR, Trax Gallery, The Signature Shop, Red Lodge Ceramic Center, and The Schaller Gallery. Most recently she was invited to participate in the 2019 Women Working in Clay Symposium at Hollins University in Roanoke, VA. Liz’s work has been published in Ceramics Monthly, Ceramics Technical, Studio Potter and the Log Book. Lurie is co-founder of the Dallas Pottery Invitational, which celebrated its ten-year anniversary in 2017.
