{ ABOUT THE ARTIST }

An instinctive passion for pastries, porcelain, and all-things-pretty has guided Cara Long through a multifaceted career as a pastry chef, jeweler, and entrepreneur. After graduating from the Kansas City Art Institute, Cara pursued a career as a professional studio artist, exhibiting her translucent porcelain installations throughout the country.

A nagging desire to escape the comforts of the Midwest led Cara to Philadelphia in 2011 to pursue a Master of Fine Arts degree in Ceramics at Temple University’s Tyler School of Art. Upon graduating, Cara hit the road for the opposite coast, with her fiancé, cat, and pottery wheel in tow.

Cara currently creates every product in the Sweet Mud Clay Works repertoire from scratch in her Los Angeles studio.
