Collection: Brooke Hanson

I am a ceramic artist and educator working in West Seattle. I often go by my last name, Hanson! My passions are spending time with loved ones in the forests of Washington, crafting with clay or other mediums, and sharing my love of clay with youth and adults. As an instructor, I encourage emerging artists to take creative risks, learn through failure, and find joy in the act of self-expression.

I grew up in Auburn, Washington, spending time exploring the outdoors in the greater Puget Sound. Some of my earliest memories are from camping trips and hikes with my family near Mount Tahoma.

My first experiences with clay were in community studio classes in 2022. I am the Studio Manager at Rat City Studios, where I also do my personal studio work. I’m the Outreach Coordinator at Rain City Clay and an instructor of youth and adult classes.
