Creating little pieces of happiness

Clay is also just wet earth, mud really. It is dug out of the ground, beat, wedged, shaped, dried, held together with hopes and dreams. But once fired, it hardens, it becomes something that will outlast us.

Clay reminds you to take your time, to be patient. It is forgiving, but fragile. And even if you do everything right, things can go wrong. But when it goes right, it’s art.

My Things

Classes and Workshops

Two women are working on pottery at a wheel in an art studio. One woman is shaping a clay bowl on the pottery wheel, and the other is leaning over the table observing or assisting. The table has various supplies including a water bottle, a coffee cup, and tools. Shelves and art supplies are visible in the background.

I have classes up! Starting at the beginning of November, I have 3 private courses that I am offering to start out with. You can choose between throwing or handbuilding and will run for 6 consecutive weeks. Any skill level is welcome and I will customize your lessons to fit your goals.

I look forward to converting everyone into potters and clay artists—one pinch of clay at a time.

I’m very excited to announce that on October 3rd, my online shop will have all my most recent pieces. I am hoping to keep it updated monthly with new pieces, but we will see how that goes.

Community Markets and Shows

Community markets are one of my favorite ways to spend a Saturday. I love being able to support local small business as well as get to meet and talk with people in my area both as a visitor and as a vendor. Currently, I am applying and looking for events in the Olympia, Lacey, and Tumwater areas. Stay tuned to see where I set up shop.
