As of April 2020, my entire home and studio are completely solar powered! Our roof produces enough energy to power all of our energy needs. I am re-using as much packing material as possible to cut down on my carbon footprint while still shipping my pottery safely to your door.

For years I sold pottery in more traditional ways. I had work in galleries, shops and sold at art fairs, and I would have an annual studio sale at my home. Then a friend, Michelle, convinced me to put my work on Etsy, and at this point almost all of my sales are through my Etsy shop.

There are a couple of things I think are important for you to know about me. I have been honing my craft for a long time. I love pots and love to hold them, use them and appreciate them. I really enjoy making functional things that are useful and beautiful to look at. I love going to people's homes and seeing my pottery in use. Many of my pots that I use have survived my four kids using them to eat on, washing them, putting them away, and setting the table. They are sturdy and hold up to use - so please use them!

I have a BFA and an MFA in ceramics. That means I have learned a lot about my field. I have formulated my clay bodies to do exactly what I want them to do, and I have created all of my slips and glazes. Everything is food safe and I am constantly testing and tweaking my glazes to make them the best they can be. Almost every firing has at least one new glaze test in the kiln. I try to work in my studio as much as possible. There are so many more pots in my head than time in the day to make them. I really appreciate how Etsy has made it so my pots can be seen and purchased by you, and everyone else around the world.
