My interest in ceramics all began with art class in my Montessori elementary school.  Working with my hands to make something always appealed to me more than anything on a page. I remember often begging my art teacher for the next unit to be something with clay. I was very determined, and I would continue to ask her until she agreed. This love of working with clay evolved when I got to high school and entered my first craft show. I even had my first pieces in a local museum. This love became an obsession in college as I began to focus on my desire to make functional work. I love the idea of making things for people to use in their day to day life. If you want to follow my journey you’ll get to see where my passion leads.
