About the Artist

After receiving her BFA with a concen­tra­tion in ceram­ics, Porter Pacella realized that the job hunt was hard and not very welcom­ing due to the start of the pandemic. She decided to get into a trade and discovered the world of finewood­work­ing. The Vermont Woodworking School (VWS) showed her how to love wood as a medium, and she's excited to explore ways to join wood and clay into future works.
