Carmen is a hobby ceramicist who has been working with clay as a personal practice for over 15 years.

As her practice evolved, it began to take shape through online sales, local markets, production assistance for other artists, and wholesale and brand partnerships.

Today, Carmen Ceramics is a primarily offline, slow-paced, artist-centered body of work.

Offerings of wares are intentional and bespoke, with occasional collections and workshops shared with her local community of Ventura County, CA, select shipped offerings, and an openness to thoughtful collaboration.
