About the Artist:

Smokepail Studios is the brainchild of mother-daughter duo Dia and Ellen Haffar. Combining hand-thrown forms with a vibrant illustrative style, their work celebrates the diverse assembly of earth's creatures with a healthy dose of humor and whimsy. What began with a borrowed wheel and makeshift outdoor kiln (inspiring the name "Smokepail Studios") is now a full time shared artistic pursuit driven by the pair's passion for pottery and painting. Ellen and Dia can be found at art markets around New York State, and Handwork is thrilled to represent them in our store!
