About moe

Hi, my name is Moselle (Moe)!

I am a ceramic artist based in Los Angeles. Growing up in the Bay Area, surrounded by the vibrant interplay of city and nature, I infuse my work with a rich palette inspired by these contrasting environments. I specialize in creating unique, Greek-inspired vases with quirky, modern twists, as well as functional ware — mugs, bowls, plates — that are both playful and practical.

Using recycled clay to breathe new life into discarded materials, my work is driven by a passion for blending traditional craftsmanship with contemporary design. My artistic journey with clay is a decade old, beginning with experimental trials and countless destroyed pieces in college. Over the years, I’ve honed my skills, enriched by travels to Copenhagen and Cambodia, where I explored diverse ceramic techniques. Through my art, I aim to evoke a sense of history while celebrating individuality and sustainability.

Beyond creating, I also enjoy sharing my knowledge and passion by teaching beginner through advanced ceramic classes. In my teaching, I encourage students to embrace the process of creation and destruction, understanding that the willingness to risk, fail, and start again is where true growth happens. My goal is to inspire others to see beauty in the unexpected and to embrace thoughtful creation. This philosophy not only guides my instruction but also fuels my own creative process, where the outcome is less important than the journey itself.
