Introduced to wandering and ceramics at a young age, Ashley Thompson has had one foot outside in the mud and one hand in clay ever since. She burned through 8 of her 9 lives before her first son was born and lives dangerously only through clay now. She is consumed by the endless puzzle-solving opportunities that this medium presents, influenced by the din of the city and an instinct to hunt for hidden treasures. An empathetic force who accentuates the value in what remains when we uncenter traditional beauty, she purposefully elevates collaborators in her artistic and personal life while unapologetically disrupting the exploitation class. Despite that, she realizes that making connections and community is the only real meaning of life.
