Anna Valenti is a ceramic artist whose work centers around weaving structures and gathering spaces that cultivate connection. She received a BA and ceramics post-baccalaureate studies from the University of Colorado at Boulder and a MFA from the Maine College of Art. She has exhibited her work nationally. Currently, Anna serves as a Board Member for East Side Art Institute and is an Assistant Professor in Fine Arts + Foundations and the Ceramics Coordinator at Rocky Mountain College of Art + Design in Denver, CO.

Statement:

Stemming from family traditions of weaving, gardening, and jerry-rigging, my work centers around the ways we gather together. By softly weaving hemp clay vessels, I seek to create ceramic forms that sing to be used and shared daily. Both intimate and monumental, it is in the moments of connection that my work lingers.
