Carpe Planta
OUR STORY
The name Carpe Planta is a play on the Latin term Carpe diem. Carpe diem meaning “pluck the day” or, more commonly translated as “seize the day.” Therefore, “carpe planta” literally means “pluck/seize the plant.”
The playful name of the brand is mirrored in the art. Mindfully crafted functional pottery is the keystone to the Carpe Planta brand. Bold colors and whimsical designs combine to evoke joy while providing a useful function meant to enhance everyday life. At Carpe planta we believe art makes the world a better place. We hope to enrich the lives for all whom encounter Carpe Planta artworks. Not only do we believe in carpe diem, but also in carpe planta.
Meet the Artist
MY NAME IS KAYLEE LANZA
I’m a twenty-something plant obsessed woman with a passion for creating nature inspired, playful, and colorful art that has meaning. I love to experiment with different mediums and challenge myself to always keep improving and refining my style. In January 2024 I took my first pottery class and I’ve been hooked ever since. I wish to spread joy and positivity through my work, and provide opportunities for everyone to experience the ancient art of clay making.
