Stories From the Ground: Lauren Sandler, Ceramic Artist and Educator

Wherever she’s lived, Lauren Sandler considers the clay.
Now in Philadelphia, she’s Program Head of Ceramics at Temple University’s Tyler School of Art & Architecture with a current exhibit at the city’s airport. Rather than simply extract the clay just beneath the city’s surface, Sandler harvests clay from creeks, vacated lots and construction sites.
Clay is a layered and complex material. From paleolithic figurines to biomedical implants and the cup on your kitchen table, clay permeates our lives, offering us a unique chance to address a broad range of social, political, economic, racial, and environmental issues, culture, and power.
Transforming how we age in our communities, Ashby Village connects older adults with one another, offering support and opportunities for meaningful, engaging experiences.

Ashby Village is a vibrant nonprofit that connects members with each other and with the resources we need to stay active, independent and fulfilled. We rely on one another-and on an extensive volunteer pool, screened service providers and partnerships with local agencies, groups and businesses.
Ashby Village launched in 2010 after many discussions and community meetings that began in 2007, initially serving Berkeley, Albany, Kensington, El Cerrito, Emeryville and part of Oakland. In December 2019, Ashby Village expanded to Richmond. July 1, 2020 North Oakland Village merged with Ashby Village.
