What I Love about Ceramics

Ceramic is my hobby

I love to create functional item to give as gifts

ceramics satisfy my creative side ( addiction)

I love the sharing and social aspect as well

How I started with ceramics

Long story

however as I approached retirement I knew I want to keep busy at first I studied bee keeping but felt not fair to the bees if I was 2 hours away from my hives

So pottery had been an idea for the last 15 years I didn’t own or know anything about it so I found. A class and within a month I bought a wheel and it has been a passion ever since

What inspires me

Nature, animals and corny things

What I'm working on at the moment

Inspirational hearts and snowman mugs

My Artist Statement

I want to make pieces that people will use that are well made and that they are happy to own
