Our Instructors
Alexandra Fabrizio
Alexandra Fabrizio is a local artist who has been making colorful, whimsical creations out of clay since 2021. With a focus on handbuilding, her ceramics straddle the line of decorative and functional work. Her work embraces humor, play, and the emotionality of the human experience. Alexandra’s work has been featured in juried exhibitions and markets, as well as a variety of local artisan markets.
When not in the studio, she likes to daydream in her backyard, sing made-up songs to her cats, and doomscroll on Instagram.

Aaron Webb - Filthy Habit Ceramics
Aaron Webb is a Richmond artist with a degree in Art Education from VCUarts. She has been teaching a wide variety of visual arts courses to 5th-12th grade students for the past 12 years. She is delighted to now also be joining the creative community at Carved in Mud Studios!
Aaron’s work covers a variety of art mediums and has been featured in juried exhibits and art markets in the Richmond area. As a child, Aaron had a mud workshop in her backyard. In the Fall of 2010, when she discovered ceramics, she realized she had re-discovered her favorite “filthy habit” of creating with earth. Aaron believes the process of creation nurtures our joy and human connection. She loves all things weird and wonderful. When she’s not teaching art or creating weird clay creatures she’s spending time with her husband and toddler son.
