Cul de Sac Design is a one-woman operation out of Vancouver, B.C. Laura
McKibbon is a self taught potter, discovering clay by chance in which
a part-time job quickly became a career. Laura’s background in chemistry,
photography and printmaking offered her a unique perspective on the craft
and over the past 4 years Laura has developed a body of work that is not
bound by labels or tradition and reflects her love of modern design, a
fascination with the still image and a dedication to function. Laura currently
works from a sunny studio on Granville Island in the heart of the city
where she has chosen to focus on small-scale production and custom design.
Laura’s dishes are individually hand crafted with keen attention to detail. Her sleek, screen printed dishes are multi-functional works of art which move effortlessly from kitchen to bathroom, living room to bedroom.
Currently available at select boutiques and galleries across Canada, as well as in New York, L.A., Portland and Hong Kong, Laura’s work has been rapidly garnering attention both in the ceramic field and within the design community. Laura continues to exhibit regularly and her work has been collected internationally. Her work has been featured in several publications, most recently The New York Times and Lark Books publication 500 Animals In Clay.
