LAURA McLAUGHLIN


Laura Jean McLaughlin grew up in Pittsburgh, PA in a family of 11 children. She always wanted to be an artist but was encouraged to go to school to be a Medical Technologist. After taking her first clay class the last semester in school she discovered a new passion. Marc Leuthold, a ceramic artist fresh out of grad school, took Laura under his wing and helped her get into graduate school at WVU for clay with a full scholarship. Laura left her high paying laboratory job to develop and grow her newly found passion in clay.

Now Laura is a full-time ceramic artist who sells her work to over 80 Galleries, Collectors and Designers, throughout the U.S. and abroad.  Her work is in the collection of PNC Park, Kohler Art Center, Kohler Company and HBO in New York.
