| Introduction |
Hi, my name is Teresa and I work in my home studio in the beautiful Texas Hill Country. I am currently making functional ceramics, mosty tableware and some decor, but I am interested in sculpture as well as artistic functional ware. I’m also interested in mold-making to start some slipware experimentation. So little time!

| What I Love about Ceramics |
I love the basic simplicity of making material goods from the bountiful earth. I love the feel of clay in my hands as it becomes an object fit for use, or that inspires with beauty. I love making objects that other people enjoy and want to use in their homes.
|
| How I started with ceramics |
I started handbuilding at my kitchen table with one bag of clay even before I had a kiln or anyway to fire anything. I just couldn’t get my hands out of the clay! I cleared a space in the garage and bought a used Skutt, then a used wheel, and now ten years later, I am blessed and privileged to have a backyard studio. New Skutt, same wheel!

| What inspires me |
I am inspired by color and imagination. I am also inspired by simple beauty and finding joy in common artifacts that make up our home life such as tableware and cooking and serving pots. Everyday joy.
|
| What I'm working on at the moment |
Consistency. Currently that means keeping my Etsy shop better stocked with functional serving ware and establishing a production cycle.
|
| My Artist Statement |
I don’t really have one. I make simple serving ware that I would like to own and am thrilled that others want to own some, too. I am curious and enthusiastic about learning new things.
