Bowls are one of my favorite forms to make. I'm fond of full bellies and small delicate feet with a balance that feels light without being too fragile. A bowl in proper proportion feels like an embrace exclusively for your hands.

As a ritual, bowls give us comfort by way of sustenance. Like mugs, we often have a favorite one that we use when we want some encouragement.

Ever since I was a little girl, I have loved the idea of jars being secret spaces to stow away the things that are most dear to you.

As a ritual, these jars and what they contain is totally up to you. From your wishes to dried sage, your favorite stones to your favorite spice, the choices are endless.

This is a very popular item from my online shop. I use incense regularly and wanted to find a way to create a holder that spoke to me aesthetically and functionally. Palo santo is a big favorite of mine - the scent is such a comfort and immediately calms me and make the air around me feel light and clean.

The lotus is such a powerful symbol in spirituality and pottery is a spiritual exercise for me. It is about birth. Rebirth. Reincarnation. Regeneration. A friend suggested to me that I bring my lotus “doodles” to my work and so here we are.

As a ritual, the symbol of a lotus is a symbol of regeneration and rebirth - something central to any meditative practice. Through every difficult transition in my life, adding the sign of a lotus to my thoughts and actions has inspired me to keep moving forward.

It’s safe to say I like things others may find tedious. Repetitive markings, stamping, and carving is calming to me and take me to a tribal, meditative place within my mind. The red dotted series is relaxing and satisfying for me, both in production and result. They are a great seller and are available in blue dotted and green dotted series too.

As a ritual, meditative markings remind us to be patient and to take the time to get lost in the vast intricacies of life.

My mugs are usually recognizable for their ample size, their versatile handle position and length (three finger/four finger/mug body grip) and some texture. Many of my mug collections are textured because I like the tactile sensation the user has when holding the piece.

As a ritual people retain a relationship with their favorite mug. I love to hear those stories and aim to make a mug that just feels good to you physically, spiritually and emotionally. A good mug can become the catalyst for an amazing day. I want to play a part in that.

Sake is a ritual tied to so many things: ceremony, celebration, memories, and friendship. An important part of the experience is the vessel used to bring sake from the bottle to your table. I enjoy making these sets and personalizing them with my texture and palette of colors.

Teapots are a lesson in ceramics madness. Well…they are if you are obsessive about the “pour.” My goal is to create a spout that when set upright after a pour, doesn’t dribble, or drop. I’ve come close…but I’m not mastered it. I keep my prototypes because they all provide me with insight for the next time the teapot bug bites.

Be they short or tall, there is nothing more visually appealing than a vase with an elegant form. The vases I make are typically “bud” style, designed to be displayed. When I’m feeling like carving a large landscape - to calm and center me, there’s nothing like giving a vase memorable, tactile pleasing texture.
