Laura Klein
joined the EFP staff in
July 2000. She is a talented artist and experienced potter who contributes both creatively and
productively to EFP's body of work. Laura's personality is also an asset.
"Laura is a calming influence in the studio," affirms fellow potter Kevin Hicks.
"Her stories about her kids and her life keep me grounded."
Before coming to EFP, Laura worked at two other Wisconsin potteries. She
started in the shipping department, while doing oil painting on the side. A supervisor
recognized her talent and interest in pottery, and offered her an apprenticeship. She
honed her skills after hours, selling her riding saddle to buy her first pottery wheel.
Laura
comes from an artistic family. Her mother is a painter, and her husband Ed is a talented
sculptor. Working at EFP is exciting to Laura because it affords her the possibility to sculpt as
well as throw. After a decade and a half as a potter, what motivates her? "I
keep doing it because I love it," she says simply. |

always been interested in nature, so I really enjoy being able to
incorporate the natural world in my work." |
