About the Artist
It started in the summer of 1997… I was a technical writer, a wife, and a mom of two little ones. My youngest was just a baby, and we were on vacation. The resort had an “open wheel” craft activity, and I went, even though I’d never touched clay in my life, let alone a potter’s wheel…
Studio Tour
“Down to the Potter’s House Studio” is what I call my pottery space — and my family would probably say that most of this potter’s house is often commandeered for studio space…
Workshops
This is an inspirational workshop/talk, appropriate for churches and women’s groups (non-potters). My mom and I have done this “tag-team” talk several times for various women’s groups at our churches and a women’s retreat…
About My Work
I love functional pots. I love the idea of the things I’ve made being used, and used well and often. As a result, most of my work is mid-range stoneware, fired with food-safe glazes. The exception would be my African Violet Pots, which are a combination of mid-range stoneware and low-fired whiteware. And sometimes, I find that some feelings just don’t fit the “functional pots”, and I find myself working things out in sculptures. Clay is amazing, the width and breadth of what it can do and what it can be!
