Welcome
I am a maker of functional pottery, and I invite you to browse my creations. For many years, my day job was as a marketer. I’m now taking my marketing expertise and combining it with my love of clay to build my own business that includes creating, showing, and selling my work, teaching, as well as helping other makers promote and sell their wares. I hope you enjoy!
Atmospheric Firings
Gas reduction, salt, raku and wood are the ways in which I prefer to fire my work due to the rich colors and textures and unexpected results. I work with 8–10 different clay bodies at any given time because they produce vastly different results.
Functional Pottery
My pottery is functional — meaning it’s meant to be used. I love to focus on form which is key to functional work because handles need to be comfortable, lids need to fit, and bowls and plates need to stack. And I love seeing my work “in the wild.”
In Your Home
My work is available for purchase, either through my Etsy store, direct, via galleries and shops, and at events and shows. Please see the Where to Buy and Exhibitions, Shows, Events pages for more information. I also love to take on commissions. Please reach out to me directly if you have something specific in mind.
