Emily Flores makes functional ceramic work in her home studio in Kernersville, NC. Inspired by the nature surrounding her home and pottery, Emily creates detailed patterned surface designs that demonstrate a love and deep appreciation of the outdoor world. She first muddied her hands with clay in 2017 at a local community art center and immediately was hooked. Mostly self taught through much experimentation and practice, she finds joy in the problem solving and process driven craft that is ceramics. She hopes she can share that joy with others as they touch, use, and view her work.
