Eliza Weber completed her MFA at Arizona State University and BFA at The University of Montana. She has completed residencies at Pottery Northwest in Seattle, Washington, Medalta in Alberta, Canada, The Pottery Workshop in Jingdezhen, China, and Open Air at the Flathead Lake Biological Station. Her nonprofit work includes Director of Education at the Paris Gibson Square Museum of Art and serving on the boards of NCECA and the Ceramics Research Center. She presently serves on the NCECA Green Task Force and is a Long-Term Resident at the Archie Bray Foundation.

Eliza’s work explores interconnectedness and materiality in a variety of mediums including ceramic, paper, found objects, and fibers. Individual pieces and installations become abstracted reflections of the world around us, influenced by the curation of domestic places and environmental management. Her works span installation, decorative, and functional, acknowledging the ways in which objects, the self, and others occupy space.
