I'm Avizia Long, a Lafayette-based ceramic artist and the founder of Weenies, Plants, and Pots. My practice is rooted in slow making, play, and close attention to process. I'm drawn to clay for its responsiveness and honesty - every touch leaves a record, and every piece carries the history of how it was made.

I work using a combination of wheel-thrown and handbuilt techniques, often moving between functional forms and small sculptural objects. I'm interested in the space where utility meets character - where a mug, planter, or figurines can be both useful and expressive. Surface, glaze, and form are developed slowly through testing and repetition, allowing each piece to evolve through the making process.
