Rossella Manzini
My name is Rossella Manzini, also known as Ross, and I'm the one with the muddy hands behind RossLab, a ceramic studio founded in San Jose, California, in 2011. I make colorful and playful ceramic wares inspired by mid-century Scandinavian and Italian pottery. I have loved art and experimented with various art media all my life, but it was only a few years ago that I discovered my love for clay. What I like the most about making ceramics is knowing they will brighten someone else's home and life. There is a story behind every piece that I make - it begins with me and my design/making process, and ends with my customers and how they choose to use my creations. This is the beauty of being a potter: I make things that are beautiful to look at, yet functional and made to be lived with.
