Laura Andreson was born in 1902 in San Bernardino and was educated at UCLA, obtaining her undergraduate degree in 1932. She was a pioneer in California ceramics, setting up the program at UCLA, and in 38 years t she would teach over 5000 students. In 1944 she learned to throw from Gertrude Natzler. She studied and traveled widely and was influenced by William Morris, Bernard Leach, and Soetsu Yanagi.
