MuddPuppyPottery

I've always felt that I'm more of a kid at heart. I'm not the refined, fine arts potter who solely throws pots and designs their own glazes. I focus more on creating the things I would like to use, or "play with" in my own home.

My shop started out as a hobby in 2006, when I bought my first kiln off of ebay, which came with a bag or two of clay. It was another year before I even hooked it up to our electric! I had never touched ceramic clay before, or taken any classes. So naturally, I just dove in!

Several books, magazines, and on-line communities later, I stumbled upon a musical instrument called an "ocarina." This flute-like whistle is was led me to start selling. After a friend encouraged me to sell a few through her, I decided to try my hand at a local medieval faire. From there it was only a matter of time before I started making "leather" mugs, skull mugs and dragons to sell online as well.

At this point I have more ideas than time. With four young kids things can get a little crazy around here! But eventually I hope to start creating more fun pieces that will not only serve your food, but get your conversations started, too!
