Brian Rochefort @energygloop fires layer after layer of glaze until his ceramics crack, ooze, and glow like volcanic coral from another planet. Gritty exteriors meet dreamy interiors, giving each piece serious “alive” energy.

Kelly Wall’s sculptures turn nostalgia into something you can hold.

In “Wistful Thinking,” her custom penny press outputs the classic flattened tokens with ambiguous phrases such as “You Are Here.”

Visitors might throw these coins into a nearby fountain, whose water spills down stacks of mugs.

🌴⭐️ "L.A. is the loneliest and most brutal of American cities," said Jack Kerouac, a common critique of one of the world's most misunderstood places.

If you're not from here, you might think that there is no sense of community. Made in L.A. 2025 dispels this myth and reveals many connections. 🎥🎨
