During Patti Warashina's long and celebrated career, her ceramic figures and objects have blended realism with wit and satire. The body is almost always at the center of these narratives of the absurd, serving as a marker of the physical and psychological, of events both political and personal. Though her medium is ceramics, Patti brings an incredible artistic voice to the medium of glass.
Being an artist was not the career Patti Warashina's parents had in mind for her when she was growing up in Spokane. Warashina enrolled at the UW intent on becoming a dental hygienist. However, one day she took a required elective in beginning drawing. Another art class introduced her to clay. That did it! She switched majors and went on to become one of America's foremost ceramic artists.
