My pottery story…

I graduated in 2003 from Katherine Gibbs in NYC with a degree in Visual Communications -Graphic Design. After graduation I went back home to the South Coast of Massachusetts and worked at Salt Marsh Pottery, learning about kilns and painting bisqueware. While visiting my aunt in Stowe, VT that Thanksgiving, I knew I found my next adventure. I moved to Stowe in January 2004 and began my graphic design career at The Stowe Reporter.

After 2 decades of designing and creating on the computer I was yearning for a creative outlet away from the screen. I took my first official wheel class at Muddy Creek Pottery with Heather Stearns in 2022, which led me to handbuilding and surface design. Wanting to dive deeper & muddier in the studio, I found my way to River Arts in Morrisville, VT and became the Clay Technician for a time. There my love for ceramics grew while mixing reclaim, making glazes, loading and unloading kilns, and chatting about all things ceramics with fellow studio members & students every day.

These days you’ll find me in my home studio located in Wolcott, Vermont.
