functional pottery works beyond utility . . . when we create ritual in our
lives around a handmade object- morning coffee in a favorite mug, for
example- we are adding joy and meaning to our routine.
To hold and use a clay pot forces us to consider things we might not
ordinarily consider. We experience more fully our own senses- how does
that cup look, feel, and taste? How does it make us feel; does it enhance
our day? There is an intimate connection between human hands when we
use pots, a shared moment that often seems increasingly absent in our
lives.
As a potter, I have found that my days have a wonderful sense of rhythm.
I love the physicality of my studio work, the cycles of the clay, and the
fact that I can be creative in almost every part of what I do. I feel a strong
entrepreneurial spirit, and a sense that I am doing what I was meant to do.
I hope my pots will become a special part of people’s lives. I strive to give
them a sense of personality and honesty. I feel incredibly fortunate to
spend my days working in clay, and through my pots, I hope to
communicate and share this sense of joy and fulfillment with others.
