About

 

Anita Hettena

Iā€™m a ceramic artist located in southern California. I have been making ceramics for over a decade. I was a Human Anatomy and Biology professor before I worked with clay. Many of my pieces have botanical themes that hint at this past love. I like to make whimsical, colorful, functional pots for the home(mugs, vases, pitchers, etc.)including Judaica. My goal is to create functional, visually interesting items that can stand alone as art pieces when not in use.

I was a student of the wonderful Birdie Boone in Cohorts 2024 and 25, and my work has been in Ceramic Monthly.
