Isabelle Coppinger is originally from the woods of Western Massachusetts. Growing up in the outdoors, Isabelle was inspired by the natural world around her, which has greatly influenced her creative work. 

​

Isabelle creates her installations using a low-fire white earthenware or a mid-range porcelain clay, and her favorite tool, an x-acto knife. Cutting out botanically inspired shapes from thinly rolled slabs of clay, she designs intricate patterns. While some of her installations are planned for the gallery, Isabelle develops custom pieces for unique spaces as well. 

 

Isabelle earned her Bachelor of Arts degree with a concentration in Ceramics and Sculpture from Warren Wilson College in 2017. She was a resident artist for three years at Odyssey Clayworks in the River Arts District of A sheville North Carolina and then worked at South Side Studios for three years where she continued to develop her work. After living in A sheville for 10 years, Hurricane Helene hit and completely destroyed her ceramic studio. She moved to New Orleans Louisiana for a year and a half to rebuild and has now re-established her practice in A sheville.
