I've studied and worked in many media over the last 30 years including clay.

One day at my open studio, a man admired one of my clay sculptures and asked, "Why haven't I seen this work in the gallery?"

"Without a kiln, I can't make enough pieces to really sell them," I said.

Then, he asked, "Do you want a kiln?"

"Yes," I stammered.

Two months later, I had a Skutt Kiln in my garage. And this wonderful, generous man had given me a pottery wheel, too. After years of classes, shows and galleries, here I am opening up my Etsy shop featuring my own handmade ceramics from my heart to your home.

Sometimes dreams you didn't even let yourself dream, come true.
