Welcome to Plays With Mud. I'm so glad you found our shop! We use stamps to create custom vases, platters and various pieces that are designed to be used and loved on a daily basis. Most of our pieces can be personalized with names and dates for anniversaries, engagements, weddings, and special dates. We can also work with you to design the perfect piece for a specific occasion.

All of our pottery is handcrafted in my basement studio. I typically use stoneware clay, and fire to cone 5. Each piece is glazed using lead-free, food-safe materials.

I have been blessed with an incredibly supportive husband and two amazing children who inspire me daily. I've always had a love of crafts ... there is something about creating a product from scratch and holding it withing your hands that is fascinating to me. I have been a potter since 1997, and I try to infuse a bit of myself into every piece that I make, and merge my love of mediums into new art forms. My vases and platters were created from using my traditional scrapbooking stamps on my clay one day, and discovering a whole new world of personalization. My paper products and random media projects are available at www.ellamuffin.etsy.com

While Plays With Mud and EllaMuffin are my passions, I do have a "day job" that also keeps me quite busy.
