Stephanie makes her hand painted tumblers, steep-rimmed plates, and beautiful bowls in an 8x10 tuff shed in her Nevada City backyard.
No joke.
She's been working with clay since high school, where the ceramics room was a "magical place" for her. Her pieces have a playful yet grounded feel to them--kind of like their namesake, her sweet little dog Pickle. She thanks her grandmothers for instilling in her the balanced nature she depends on as a working artist.
When asked what makes Pickle Pottery unique, she told us: "I do! It's my Wabi Sabi aesthetic, my marks, my lines that are one of a kind. Each piece of pottery is hand thrown and hand decorated by me. No two are the same."
