Alexandra Watrous is a ceramic artist, educator, and full time mother living in Springdale, PA, just down river from where she was born. She started her career as a ceramic sculptor, earning a BFA in Ceramics from Edinboro University way back in the 90s. For many years she created her art while working, traveling, teaching, moving across country several times, caring for parents and finally children. She was lucky enough to have shown her art in many galleries and a couple museums along the way. In the last 8 years, Alex has refocused her ceramic talents into pottery making. Something she has always loved, and has taught, but had kept as a side love affair all those years.
