My Ceramic Journey
Here at 333 pottery I craft, detail, and produce work made entirely by my hands. From every step of the process- the initial sketch,to wedging of clay, to form creation, to the firing of all pieces, I take pride in what I do.
My pieces are unique in that they are made by a single set of hands, completely free formed (meaning I do not use templates or industrial molds), fired to high temperature for durability, non-industrialized, highly unique, and made with love, care, and attention.
In addition to these aspects, all of my work, unless otherwise stated in the listing, is made from durable stoneware clay fired to 2300 F to vitrification. This means that with proper care, ceramic pieces can last a lifetime!
I wish to provide my customers with beautiful, handmade, works of art at an affordable price.

Prior to receiving education in ceramic arts, I was almost exclusively an oil painter. Despite my love for painting, I believe paintings cannot participate in the everyday lives of people as functioning items.
Ceramics, to me, provides a perfect balance between aesthetic work and practical function, bringing customers a beautiful piece of art that they do not have to be afraid to pick up and use!
It was with this realization that I began my journey into the world of ceramics starting with a basic ceramics course while pursuing my A.S. degree. It was during this course that I discovered my love and continuous excitement for ceramic art! After my enrollment in an advanced ceramics course, I invested in a wheel and kiln to be able to create a larger volume of pottery with the convenience that at home access brings. It was with this initial investment that I am pleased to present my work to the Etsy community!

I received my degree in Visual Art & Ceramics from SUNY New Platz in 2020, and my Associate degree in science from Dutchess Community College in 2017.
I work from my home studio in the Hudson Valley area producing pieces weekly.
