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.

She is interested in how structure and ornament have the potential to overlap and merge, the pursuit of sincere objects, and ornament as joyful resistance. Ultimately, present-day Julia is searching for creative challenges without leaving behind her 10 year-old self who made things simply because it made her happy.
