I’m glad you’re here
It starts as earth, and only through the human hand does it turn into something you can use, something you hold.
I’ve been at this for 15 years now, working out of a home studio in San Diego. Each piece is thrown on the wheel before being altered by hand โ the final shape taking form long after it’s left the wheel. It’s then fired, glazed, and fired again. A sweet rhythm of a slower pace.
Much of what I make traces back to what I notice outside the studio: the blues and greens I see swimming in the ocean. The oranges of the California poppies blooming on the hillsides all spring. The bright greens of my summer garden, and the browns of drought in the fall after months of no rain.
I’m drawn to functional pottery โ objects that live in your daily routines. A mug you reach for every morning. A bowl that becomes part of dinner with friends.
My hope is that these pots earn their place in your hands, not just your cabinet.
