Lori Rembetski

            Lori Rembetski is an award winning Ceramic Artist from New London, CT. She is well known for her whimsical clay dog sculptures. Before adopting a live dog everything she made turned into a dog. Now in addition to dogs; her work has expanded to cats, birds, bunnies, flowers, and squirrels (the interests of her live dog).

           She fell in love with clay when she was sixteen. She prefers handbuilding to throwing on a wheel. The irregularities created on a slab, coiled, or pinched surface influences her work. She starts with an idea of what to create, but never knows exactly how the finished piece will look. She observes how the light falls on the surface of the clay. A lump in one spot often suggests a dog nose and from there a face soon emerges.

            Lori Rembetski earned her BFA from Alfred University with an emphasis on Ceramics. She has been included in juried shows in Connecticut, New York, Rhode Island, Kansas, Pennsylvania, Iowa, and California. Lori received the First Prize in Sculpture at the Guilford Art League 63rd Annual Juried Exhibition and was awarded The Teddy Goberis Award for Excellence in Ceramics at the Mystic Arts Center. She is an Elected Artist member at The Mystic Museum of Art.
