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 is 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 June, our featured artist is Lauren Stanford!

Lauren Stanford was born and mostly raised in Anchorage, AK. She spent her childhood summers at her grandparents’ remote homestead in Southwest Alaska. As a fourth generation Bristol Bay commercial fisherman, Lauren returns to the shores of the Naknek River each summer to setnet for sockeye salmon. She earned her BFA in Ceramics in 2018 at UAA. Afterwards, Lauren was a long-term artist in resident at the Mendocino Art Center in California for two years and a short-term artist in resident at the Red Lodge Clay Center in Montana. Lauren loves to teach. Since 2022, she has been an Adjunct Professor of Ceramics at UAA and she joined the team at Turnagain Ceramics in early 2025.
