Len Carella

I am a San Francisco based artist focusing on 3D freestanding sculpture and installation art pieces. My work explores balance and proportion and is made of stoneware, porcelain, leather, textile etc. I have spent two and a half decades working in high fire ceramics. In addition to sculpture, I create small batch ceramic wares for home and restaurants.

I started working in ceramics in 1998 at Parsons School of
Design in New York City midway through a 20-year career as a designer of footwear and leather goods.
