Apologies for the lack of updates, my partner and I are currently in the process of moving!

I am excited to have the opportunity to work with clay from home and develop a studio space. The next month or so will be focused on transitioning and creating an efficient home studio for production and retail.

We are moving within the Youngstown area, so I will still be selling my wares locally until I get my act together to launch a shipping option.

This weekend, I will once again be selling pottery with the PennOhio Clay Guild at the Youngstown Flea Market on Saturday 6/8 from 9am-3pm. I will be there from 8am - 12pm if you wanna say hi!

Youngstown Flea address: 365 E Boardman St, Youngstown, OH 44503

Additionally, some of my work will be for sale in New Castle at the Briar Brook Barn June sale. Their market runs both Saturday 6/8 and Sunday 6/9 from 10am-4pm.

Briar Brook Barn address: 330 Eastbrook Neshannock Falls Rd., New Castle, PA 16105

For those of you wondering what I did with those slabs… coil bowls! These totally remind of my grandma’s recycled t-shirt rugs, which I always loved. Really excited to see how these colors look with some glossy clear glaze!

Also a sneak peak of my mug & saucer duo pre-glaze 👀

I’ve been doing some experimenting with some concepts using underglaze. First time making & using underglaze/slip transfers. For my non-potter friends, it’s a similar process to applying a temporary tattoo!

I’ve been really inspired by Stephen Biggerstaff’s ( on instagram) use of slip in his slab bowls and have been want for try some of these techniques for a long time.

Will be posting updates of what becomes of these colorful slabs!

I’m always up to something new. Those who know me, know that I am blessed/cursed with an endless stream of project ideas that I will never complete.

These stoneware berry bowls are my newest edition and will be a seasonal product selling for $30 at the next Youngstown Flea on May 11th. Online retail page coming soon!

Hey everyone! I really appreciate all the thoughtful comments and questions about buying my pottery. I wanted to give some more information about the materials, pottery care, and how to purchase.

My pottery is made from Stoneware from Standard Ceramic Supply in Carnegie, PA. I always use food-safe, lead free glazes. Pieces are dishwasher, and microwave safe, but hand-washing and gentle handling will extend a pot's durability.

On April 13th I will be selling my wares with the PennOhio Clay Guild at the Youngstown Flea. If you can't make this one, we will be attending the flea throughout the season. https://youngstownflea.com/

Finally glazed the last 2/8 of my fruit themed mug batch. Raspberries are my favorite fruit of all time, literally nature’s candy.
The other 6 along with 5 lily pad plates just finished a glaze firing and will be picked up tomorrow. Stay tuned for results!
