about 8 years ago i discovered my love for pottery! i had recently moved to a new state, found myself a little bit homesick, and decided to take a pottery class at a local art facility to fill my time. it is something i had always wanted to try - but just never did.

well, after a couple of classes, i was hooked! i couldn't get enough time in the studio - i just LOVED it! i went from taking classes, to being a studio assistant, to teaching - all in a few short years.

i am super lucky to have a very supportive husband who, after a few years, encouraged me to set up my own studio at our home. i started with a wheel and a kiln in a small room in my basement. from there, things evolved quickly and soon i had a fully functional pottery studio (with water!) with wheels not just for for me, but also for a few special students. the basement potter studio was a reality and boy, was i excited!

i spend a lot of time in my basement. i love to make pretty things. when i am not covered in clay, i am a wife to my husband, and mom to my two teenage daughters. i am so lucky to have their support to follow my passion and do what i love to do.

i take a lot of pride in my work and hope that you like it as much as i do!

from my basement to your home,
