About
Kassandra Guzman was born and grew up in Miami, FL. She founded KuuPottery in 2016 while obtaining her business degree from Florida International University. Throughout her career, Kassandra has used sculpture for grounding and seeks to push the boundaries of the ceramic medium, elevating everyday home objects into unique, artistic pieces.
Her work aims to evoke warmth and connection, exemplified by The Boinggg! Series, which features playful handle designs resembling phone cords and vines, inspired by both nature and everyday life.
Ultimately, her goal is to craft ceramic art that resonates emotionally, making art an integral part of everyday life.
