I grew up in New Hampshire and fell in love with clay during a high school art class. Fast forward 23 years, and after raising a daughter, I enrolled in the NH Institute of Art and took my love of clay to the next level. It was during this time that I met Jeff Brown, a pottery instructor at the Institute. Eventually we shared a studio in Northwood, NH. In 2010 we made the decision to return to Jeff’s home state of North Carolina, establishing our new home and studio in the pottery community of Seagrove.
Most of my work is functional, wheel thrown forms. I enjoy carving flowers and leaves through slip covered clay, a process called sgraffito. I fire in a gas kiln, here at our Seagrove studio and participate in wood firings whenever the opportunity arises.
I am a blog writer and that is where I share our daily life experiences as working potters in Seagrove, NC.

Canisters have been a popular item for the last few years. There are a few in every firing. The green and off white glaze is the winning combination.

It's a good thing that we kept both of our snow shovels from New Hampshire.
We are open our regular hours today.
We've salted the parking lot so we are Ice Free

It's definitely soup weather! Jeff's gorgeous soup tureen certainly elevates a simple meal. This one is spoken for but there is one more heading into the next firing.

We unloaded the kiln ahead of the storm. This adorable pair of bull banks are headed to their new home in Missouri. Their trip may take a little longer due to the giant storm that swept across nation this weekend.
