About

I want my pieces to be the first thing people reach for whenever food and drink are involved.

I spent my early adult life figuring out what I could do that would bring me joy and maybe a little money. In 2003 I took my first pottery class and found something that would be a part of my life forever. A few years after I started, I began apprenticing and managing at Hinckley Pottery in DC. I have been teaching for almost twenty years now, and the studio is now at home in Fairfax Station, Virginia.

I love the way that pottery becomes a part of a person's life. It participates in the big and small moments.

The pottery

All my pieces are food, microwave, and dishwasher safe. I keep my glazes simple and let the shape of the pot be the focus — I want it to feel comfortable in your hands. I work in stoneware, fired mostly in an electric kiln these days, with gas and the occasional wood firing mixed in.
