Vendor Spotlight: Allison Fretheim Ceramics

Allison Fretheim describes her work as "functional" and "super rad," and we have to agree. Her wheelthrown and handbuilt ceramics, including mugs, planters, bowls, and more, are a refreshing, unique and ultra adorable spin on a classic artform. We're pleased to have her as a first year vendor at the 2016 Pear Fair!

Genevra Bell is a graduate of Maharishi University of Management, 2009, with a Bachelor of Fine Art (Cum Laude) with an emphasis in ceramics. From 2009-2010 while living in England she continued to work in clay in a shared studio with ceramist John Kershaw. In 2011, she received a ‘Merit’ in Graphic Design from Kendal College, England. No doubt inspired by the British countryside, only a few miles down the road from Beatrix Potter's historic home, Genevra moved away from ceramics and began to paint and illustrate. In 2012, Genevra moved back to the US with her British husband so that he could attend university. Genevra currently works as an illustrator primarily using watercolor and ink.
