Anissa Dyen began her journey with hand-building pottery in the fall of 2022 when she attended classes with her daughter. What started as a mother-daughter bonding experience soon became a family affair when she convinced her husband, Scott, to join them in taking classes. As a Behavior Analyst, Anissa finds that working with clay is a therapeutic outlet, helping her to unwind and leave the stresses of her job behind.
Anissa's pottery is inspired by her passion for traveling and the many museums and beautiful gardens she has visited, such as Versailles, Villa Borghese, Meiji Jingu, and the Royal Botanical Gardens. She also draws inspiration from her love of flowers and antique wrought iron gates, incorporating these influences into the forms and textures of her work.
