Announcement
Welcome to my shop! I sell a variety of handmade ceramic items–all made by me at my neighborhood ceramic studio. To see my latest work, please check out my Instagram account - www.instagram.com/snowpondceramics.
I am based in mid-Missouri for part of the year, and Western Massachusetts for the other part! From tiny house villages to ceramic holiday decor, you'll find lots of great gift ideas for folks who love tiny things! Some of my houses are currently for sale at the Kemper Museum of Contemporary Art in Kansas City and at the Columbia Art League in mid-Missouri.
How I came to create a million tiny houses – I actually started throwing clay on a pottery wheel when I was a freshman in college in 1998. I took breaks here and there, but I returned to the wheel regularly in 2016. In 2020 when the pandemic struck, my neighborhood studio was shut down. I had to find a way to still be creative at home. I brought a bag of clay home and I sat at the kitchen table with my kids. We started making all kinds of funny little things, one of which was a house. I loved the way the tiny house looked so much, I started making more and whole cities later I haven’t stopped!

5 out of 5 starsI absolutely love this one! The cobblestone texture reminds me of the pretty buildings I've seen in Scotland and the streets of Italian towns. It especially reminds me of a stone cottage you could find in the forest, my favorite place to be. I love how detailed yet simple these houses are. Very clean and modern, some with a touch of vintage to them. All with whimsy. Love it ❤️

5 out of 5 starsOh no, I'm hooked on these adorable houses! They are so beautiful in person. I love how unique the shapes are and love their simplicity. I love the white/cream clean look with the pops of detail, whether that's with design or color. They arrived freaky fast and packaged very well. Opening the package was such a delight! I will definitely keep an eye on this shop for more pretty things!
