Stephanie Osser is well known for her bas-relief tiles that are first carved, then used to create a mold in plaster. The finished tile is made by pressing slabs of clay into the mold. Domestic objects also interest her. These she casts with porcelain slip and then uses decals made from her drawings to decorate the surface. Ceramic sculptures have also interested her.
Osser?s work focuses on lightness and good news. She is comfortable working in a number of areas including asa set designer and award winning book illustrator.
At the University of Montana she studied with ceramic artist Rudy Autio.
