"A century‑old Village ceramics studio with roaring gas kilns hitting roughly 2,400°F and a multigenerational membership (including longtime regulars who still climb three flights of stairs); here she translates pastry‑born speed and precision to clay, producing wafer‑thin porcelain forms that often warp, slump, or shatter in firing—an accepted part of a process colleagues describe as kitchen‑like and unflinchingly rigorous." - Diana Hubbell
