Liz Lauter is a California ceramic artist based in West Marin, north of San Francisco, who makes colorful, hand-painted Judaica. "Creating Judaica is like bringing the most honored guest to a celebration," she has said. Her Judaica is an expression of her Jewish roots growing up in multicultural San Francisco, surrounded by Mexican folk art and Italian culture.
She started young, learning ceramics at 11, and later studied art and botany, finishing a BFA at UC Davis in 1978. From 1984 to 1988 she lived in Israel, studying garment design at Bezalel in Jerusalem and running a fashion studio there. She taught high-school ceramics at Redwood High School in Larkspur from 2000 to 2019, studied majolica ceramics in Deruta, Italy in 2018, and retired in 2019 to focus on her studio.
Her menorahs and seder plates draw on the Arbol de la Vida, the Mexican Tree of Life, painted on both sides with birds, leaves, fruit and flowers. At ModernTribe that means Tree of Life menorahs in several sizes, a Long Menorah, and a Seven Species seder plate set.
