Featured Firsts: Carla Fox & Emily Johnson

Join us for Featured Firsts at Turnagain Ceramics! Each first Friday, we hold an opening reception for a different local ceramic artist, featuring a free community throw! Our front gallery has a treasure trove of pottery and ceramic art that our studio members lovingly handcraft. From plates, mugs, and bowls to jewelry and sculpture, our gallery has it all!

This December, our featured artists are Carla Fox and Emily Johnson.

“Hiiii! Hyoo-mäns call me Carla. I grew up here in Anchorage on Dena'Ina Ełnena. I have been learning about ceramics and making things with clay for about 15 years now & have a tinsy little BA in Arts from UAA. Teaching and working at TC for the last year has been so fun and meaningful - I've gained more than just pottery knowledge and skills; I have also gained a beautiful supportive lil community of ceramics enthusiasts. I love pottery and people, and people making pottery, and pottery people. I also REALLY love my sweet gentle angel-bebe doodlebooty doggies Tarly, Granny Daffy & Grandpa (who prefers to be called Grampi).”

“A teacher and mom of two young kids, Emily discovered pottery through Turnagain Ceramics about two years ago, shortly after having her youngest. She loves the creative challenge it offers and the satisfaction of walking away with something to show off to her family. Born and raised in Soldotna, she enjoys creating designs inspired by Alaska. When she’s not in the studio, she can often be found playing volleyball or spending time outdoors with her family.”
