Karen Orsillo

Juried Member Since 1990

My love for working with clay began in the late 1960’s. I received a BFA in ceramics from the University of Massachusetts in 1977. I have explored so many different ways to work with clay and I enjoy it all but in the mid 1970’s I discovered colored clay and this eventually became my main focus. Handbuilding with layered colored porcelain unifies my exploration of form, color and pattern. For the past 40 years I have been sharing my passion for clay through teaching classes and workshops as well as showing my work in galleries and at shows.

My work is in the collection of the Crocker Museum and the Everson Museum.
