All Fired Up is our Shop’s monthly handmade ceramics drop, curated by Food52, and all from small and local makers. This month, we’re featuring LA-based artist Allison Shawn of SOMBRA Studio Ceramics.
For Allison Shawn, it wasn’t a question of if she was going to run her own business—it was simply a question of when. And maybe what too. If you’d told her in college—or even 10 years after—that ceramics would be her future, she probably wouldn’t have believed you.
