For more than 30 years, Elizabeth Schlatter has been dedicated to promoting, researching, teaching, and engaging with creativity—across both the arts and wellness.

In 2025, she became an ACTION-Certified Personal Trainer (ACTION-CPT) and now works as a wellness coach at the Northside YMCA (Richmond, VA), where she helps individuals build strength, mobility, and confidence. Her interest in body mechanics and potterymaking led her to create The Aligned Potter, a free online resource that explores ergonomics, injury prevention, and sustainable movement practices for ceramics makers.

Schlatter is also an independent curator, writer, and consultant. She previously served as Interim Executive Director, as well as Deputy Director and Curator of Exhibitions, at the University of Richmond Museums. Her curatorial work focuses on modern and contemporary art and on topics related to leadership, creative practice, and the role of university museums.

From 2020 to 2022, she was president of the College Art Association (CAA), the 112-year-old learned society for visual art and art history, and served on its board for six years. For more, see her LinkedIn page.

As a ceramicist under the label C-Suite Ceramics, Schlatter makes playful, functional pottery designed to brighten everyday life. From stylish pet bowls to easy-grip mugs and smokeless scent disks, each piece adds a little joy to the daily routine, with bold patterns, vibrant colors, and thoughtful design.
