Selected Work
The 29th Annual National K-12 Ceramic Exhibition
3/25/2026 - 3/27/2026
Liz Quackenbush
Born and raised in Wyckoff, NJ, Liz Quackenbush was inspired by her upbringing and collection of handmade objects that filled her home. She studied under Betty Woodman at the University of Colorado and continued her creative journey as a full-time potter in Vermont. Professor Quackenbush taught ceramics at Penn State University for 23 years before moving to Seattle, where she lives and works now. Her work is deeply inspired by ceramics made during the 13th through 17th centuries in Iran, Span, Portugal, Italy, France and England. Responding to daily life, Quackenbush creates decorative vessels illustrated with plant life, relief and texture saying, “As I seek to develop my own “garden of earthly delights” motif, I draw inspiration from the tradition of personal intimation in ceramic form and decoration that has been handed down, quite literally, through the ages.” Liz Quackenbush Seattle WA 98146 Lqpottery@gmail.com
