About:

​Carole Allen is graphic designer, surface designer, and potter. Early in her career she worked with Polaroid film, exhibiting SX-70 and 8x10 images at Polaroid, and as a founding member of the original co-op Gallery Naga. For the past twenty years she has focused on ceramics, studying with the late Makoto Yabe, and Lisa Dolliver of Earth Changes Pottery in Maynard Massachusetts.  After a long career as a freelance designer and art director in educational publishing, Carole is now involved in combining her two passions, graphics and crafts, through a new focus on surface design, applying her bold, nature-inspired graphic sensibility to both three-dimensional clay vessels and two-dimensional silkscreened fabrics. She works from her home and studio in the Westinghouse Lofts complex in the Hyde Park neighborhood of Boston.
