Dr. Gliset Morales

Co-Founder of Amapola Arts, LLC
Buffalo NY

I am an educator and ceramic artist from Buffalo, New York, with family roots in Puerto Rico. My work is shaped by my Afro-Boricua and Taíno heritage.

I use clay to teach, connect with others, and create work that carries meaning. Some pieces explore history, language, and identity, while others are made for everyday use. I also work in fiber arts and create small-batch candles and soaps.

I teach pottery classes, lead workshops, and work with schools and community organizations. I believe art is a practical way people learn, communicate, and build community.

Valley Equity Consulting

I also lead Valley Equity Consulting, LLC, where I work with schools, districts, universities, and community organizations to strengthen teaching and learning for multilingual learners, including students with disabilities.

My consulting and creative work support each other through a shared focus on language, culture, and learning.
