All Fired Up, curated by Food52, features LA artist Allison Shawn from SOMBRA Studio Ceramics. After initially studying architecture, she returned to ceramics during the 2020 pandemic, rekindling her early passion. The process offered her refuge and creativity, shaping her unique approach to artistry. Now, she operates a full-time ceramics studio from home, reflecting a deep connection to her craft. This month’s collection represents her artistic journey and commitment to handmade quality, showcasing the importance of local makers in the ceramics scene.
"The magic of the kiln seemed really exciting. I just loved the material and the process and how thoroughly immersive it was."
"It was this place of refuge and freedom for me, reflecting on how the craft has always retained those qualities."
