My name is Scotty Cummings. I am a 32-year-old old corporate dropout “throwing” my life away as a ceramicist and artist in Los Angeles, CA. I started my ceramics journey in high school (shout out to Mr. Swineheart) but took a step back as life got busy. I've been around the arts all of my life, like drawing and painting, with a mother who nurtured creativity in our household. I got into graphic design and moved throughout the advertising industry as a producer for 10 years. Since 2024, I found myself drawn back to playing with mud and became infatuated with clay. I enjoy both wheel throwing and handbuilding with quite an eclectic range of styles-from cartoony creatures to whimsical vases. After a decade of staring at computer screens, it's nice to do something tactile with my hands as a creative outlet, embrace my inner child, and play.
