Summary
Originally from western Massachusetts, Alesia Allen got a BFA from the Savannah College of Art and Design in fashion design! Alesia began her pottery journey in 2012 after she randomly decided to visit an open house at a pottery studio in her hometown. Alesia ended up taking several handbuilding classes with one of the studio owners and realized soon after starting the classes that clay was going to be her life. Alesia moved to Phoenix, AZ in 2014 and quickly found a new studio to call home and began doing arts and crafts shows around the Phoenix metro area.
