Dakota is a transfeminine ceramics artist hailing from Kansas City with a fair number of years working out of Columbia Missouri. They graduated with their bachelor's in Exercise Physiology from the University of Missouri in 2016. She began working with clay while working as a lab technician and found her passion for the medium during a community woodfire. This lead to an ongoing fascination with the discussion between clay body, grog, glaze, kiln, and atmosphere. She is currently making work and teaching as a resident artist at Access Arts.
