Home Maker Pottery
I create small batch, handmade pottery out of my home studio in northeast Atlanta, Georgia. My multi-step process includes layers of underglaze, slips and hand-cut, original paper designs. I love to create colorful, happy functional pottery!
Each piece is thrown by me on a potter’s wheel. Once it can retain its shape while being held, it goes back on the wheel for trimming and a pulled handle is attached if needed. Layers (and layers!) of slip, underglaze and handmade paper-resist patterns are used at this stage, and then the piece is allowed to completely dry. Next, it is bisque fired in the kiln. I use a sanding pad to smooth out the rim and handle before I glaze each piece by hand, and it is fired again. Finally, I sand and smooth the base, and the piece is complete!
I love exploring the endless possibilities and challenges that working with pottery offers, and I believe that each finished piece is special because it is one-of-a-kind.
