How We Got Started
Cynthia Morelli has a BFA in Ceramics from New York State College of Ceramics at Alfred and has been working in clay full time since moving to Homer, Alaska in 1993. She lived five years in Japan, studying Butoh and Calligraphy before settling in Homer with her husband, Taro Sasakura. They've built a home and studio outside of town together that showcases both rural Alaska and Japanese aesthetics.
