I’m a potter, artist, novelist, dreamer, knitter, and baker—a compulsively creative soul who likes to make things. I’ve had a lifelong love affair with handmade pottery, and fell deeply and irrevocably in love with making my own in 2018 when I took my first wheel-throwing class. Immediately, I started daydreaming about making ALL the things in my own studio someday.
That daydream became a reality in 2022 when I moved to an historic farm just outside of the village of Trumansburg, where a large chicken coop had been converted into a woodworking shop twenty years before. That beautiful 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.
Studio Accessibility:
40 yard walk across yard and then a stone step up through a doorway and a very slight incline ramp through a garage door (both on the front wall of the studio).
