Joan Ulrich has developed a reputation for making elegant ceramic forms with keen attention to the details of functionality.

Firing in an atmospheric salt kiln offers the potential for surprises in the final stage, and provides the dynamic balance between precision and chance she seeks.

Joan teaches ceramics at The Art League of Alexandria, and the Workhouse Arts Center in Lorton, Virginia. She maintains studios at both the Workhouse and the Torpedo Factory Art Centers. She exhibits nationally and internationally, and has been the recipient of numerous awards.
