Kendall Traylor is a ceramic sculptor and illustrator from Southern California. In 2022, she graduated from California State University, Long Beach, with a BFA in Ceramics and a Certification in Biomedical Illustration.
Kendall creates various works, but her recent focus is volumetric and eco-friendly practices. She prioritizes sustainability by incorporating recycled or organic materials whenever possible. Reclaimed clay enables her to save on material costs, maximize resources, and produce more work. Mixing her own clay creates a strong connection between her and the material, additionally adding more texture, interest, and information to a piece. Exploring the different possibilities of materials is what fuels her motivation and research. One of Kendall’s goals is to take excess clay from the community to help minimize overconsumption while researching contemporary ceramic design.
