Hello, friend!

I’ve had a lifelong love affair with handmade pottery, but didn’t start making my own until my husband gifted me a wheel-throwing pottery class when I was 48. Of COURSE, I fell deeply and irrevocably in love on the first day of class, and immediately started daydreaming about making ALL the things in my own studio someday.

That daydream became a reality, first in a sweet little studio generously hosted in the basement of my neighbor’s picturesque barn, with a worktable handmade for me by another benevolent neighbor. (It takes a village, you know.) In 2022, I moved to my dream property just outside the village of Trumansburg, where a large chicken coop had been converted into a woodworking shop twenty years before. That beautiful (heated and insulated!) space is now my studio. It’s literally a dream come true.

My favorite thing to make is mugs, but I make a variety of functional pots like travel mugs, wine cups, tumblers, bowls, yarn bowls, teapots, and vases. I work with beautiful warm brown and rich black clays, leaving some of the clay bare to show off its natural beauty.

My designs come from nature—fields of flowers, dandelions gone to seed, mountains, leaves, thorns, grasses, flames, ferns, willows—as well as geometry, with lines, dots, and hearts. Glazes pool in the carved lines, while the surrounding clay is left butter-smooth and bare. These are the kind of pots that you can’t help but touch, running your fingers along the carved design over and over again because the tactile feel of it is so satisfying.

Each piece is a unique and one-of-a-kind creation. Small batch. Handmade. From my hands to yours.

Besides being a compulsive creator, I’m a total nature nerd and geek out about things like moss, trees, clouds, and bald eagles spotted in the wild (I mean, it’s just so freaking cool to see one!). I love being outside, going for walks, kayaking during the summer on our local lakes, hiking to our local waterfalls. There’s a whole heck of a lot of nature all around, and I am HERE for it.
