Amy Lenharth

ceramist

Amy Lenharth began working in clay 15 years ago and was instantly infatuated with the material. She started as a functional potter, participating in local art shows and exhibits. In 2004 she decided to pursue her art more seriously and entered the ceramics program at the Kansas City Art Institute, graduating in May of 2007 with a double major in ceramics and art history. She recently received her MFA in ceramics from the University of Kansas, and has also studied at the International Ceramics Studio in Keschemet Hungary, and at Pilchuck Glass school in Washington state.

Amy's ceramic work has been shown nationally and can be seen in several books and magazines, including Studio Potter magazine, Clay Times magazine, China Ceramics Illustrated, the Lark 500 series books (Teapots, Cups, and Animal Figures), Andrew Martins Guide to Mold Making and others. She spends her time teaching ceramics and art, working in her studio, and hiking in the woods.
