know Leslie
Welcome to Leslie Plays in Clay! I am a ceramic artist living in Massachusetts. After a career in food science and philanthropy, I moved to Massachusetts in 2013 and found my tribe at Worcester Center for Crafts. I create custom made one-of-a-kind ceramic art such as bracelets, necklaces, pins and especially earrings. I also make plates, bowls and sculptures.
While I appear at occasional art shows, most of my work is sold online. I love the process of handcrafting something that might get worn with love and pride for years to come.
When not playing in clay, I can be found exploring New England, listening to audio books and hanging out with my husband and our Silver Labrador, Coltrane who enjoys an occasional eBike ride.
Quiet releases. Small batches. Collected slowly.
