Julia Inés Ambros is an artist & designer working primarily in ceramic, metal, and drawing. She was born in Athens, OH, raised in San Diego, CA, & now happily lives in Providence, RI. She received a BFA in Ceramics from the Rhode Island School of Design (RISD) in 2025, receiving honors and the Dean’s Award for outstanding undergraduate work. In 2026, Julia completed a fifth year at RISD, earning her Master of Arts in Teaching + Learning in Art + Design (TLAD).

She has completed residencies at The Steel Yard (Providence, RI) and Haystack Mountain School of Craft, and has participated in group exhibitions at the Franz Collection (Taipei, Taiwan), Ritual Spaces (Providence, RI), The Dye House (Providence, RI), and various RISD galleries.

In her work, she is driven by a desire to share her most personal feelings and a compulsive need to dissect and understand every aspect of her creative impulses. She is drawn to the processes of drafting and categorization, which manifest as rigid systems of construction–usually grids and exposed internal structures. More broadly, Julia searches for ways to turn structure into ornament, and experiments with subtraction and degradation as a form of addition.
