LOU WHARTON
2026 + Art Education
Owner of Lou Wharton Ceramics
I really just hope that the people who see my art are inspired to make art of their own. It’s a huge reason why I got into art myself, and being a part of passing along inspiration to someone else would be really special.

I want to be able to be a dependable resource for people that feel that same way and I want people to know they can at least always count on the cookies being good when everything else may feel crazy.
