Laurey-Faye Dean is a contemporary American ceramic artist and master potter based in Waynesville, North Carolina, operating under the studio name Hazelwood Pottery. Born in Decatur, Georgia in 1960 and holding a BFA in Studio Arts from the University of Georgia, she incorporates intricate hand-carved relief molds, slip trailing, and studio-formulated glazes into her wheel-thrown stoneware. Her work is celebrated as a narrative visual poem inspired by the flora, fauna, and landscapes of the Southern Appalachian Mountains, as well as historic American art potteries like Rookwood and McCoy. A member of the Southern Highland Craft Guild, Dean continues to create functional and decorative wheel-thrown pottery that blends traditional craftsmanship with whimsical, pastoral motifs that are sought by collectors around the country.
