Amber Leaver is a ceramic artist who believes that the objects we engage with every day can hold both meaning and purpose. Her intention is to create functional work that brings beauty, presence, and a sense of connection into the spaces we live in.

Leaver studied at Northwest Missouri State University, where she received her BFA in Studio Arts with a concentration in ceramics in 2022. After graduating, she completed a two-year residency at 323 Clay in Independence, Missouri, where she taught classes and curated her end-of-residency exhibition, “Moments in Time.”

She is now living in France and continuing to explore and grow within the ceramics field abroad.
