I have worked with clay for over 20 years now and I still love doing it. I studied ceramics at our local college, here in Cottonwood, for over 14 years, taking the same class over and over. I know that sounds a little strange but I love being around kilns, wheels, and potters.

I make most of my pottery on the potters wheel. Handbuilding is fun too and sometimes I combine the two. I do functional stoneware, pit fire, sawdust fire, and Raku pottery. I fire my pottery in my electric and a Raku kilns.

When baking in stoneware pottery remember to place your pot in oven when cold and then turn on the oven. When taking the pot out of oven place on a trivit.

My pottery has been shown in 3 galleries in Arizona but at the present I am only selling pottery on Etsy.

I sign my pots DAST (DA for Darrielle and St for Straughan) or DAST for Darrielle Ann Straughan and the "T" for my married name Toepfer which in German translates to Potter. Needless to say my name has way to many letters to sign on bottom of any pot, hence, the initials DAST

My studio is located in Cottonwood near Sedona, Arizona..

Thank you for visiting my little part of the word..
