I make pottery instructional videos because I want to see the long honored craft of pottery continue. I know that not everyone has access to pottery classes where they live, and not everyone can afford to, or may not want go to college for an art degree like I did.

What’s the difference between a butter dish and a butter keeper? I get asked this question so often.

A pottery seconds sale for me is about making pottery available to people of all socioeconomic backgrounds. I like to make my pottery available to any one that wants it.

Even if it’s only one little special bowl- that little bowl just might have the potential to bring a little joy to that person each day.

I have been busy doing a little video project, (A Virtual Studio Tour, AVPT Potters) documenting the nine host potters of the Asparagus Valley Pottery Trail.

So happy to be invited by Ceramics Monthly to write an article on my studio and studio practice! The “Studio Visit” section of the Ceramics Monthly has always been a favorite of mine. Each month when I receive my issue of the magazine one of the first articles I read is the Studio Visit.
