My name is Allyson Conn, and I’m a ceramic artist from Morehead, Kentucky. I’ve been working with clay for about five years, and I’m continually drawn to the way it connects me to the earth and to home. Much of my inspiration comes from the Appalachian Mountains — their colors, textures, and quiet presence find their way into nearly everything I make.

I work primarily with earthenware and stoneware, and sometimes with hand-dug clay from around my area. Each piece is shaped by hand and guided by a love for simple forms, natural surfaces, and the beauty that comes from imperfection. Through my work, I hope to share a sense of warmth, calm, and connection to the land that inspires me.
