Gifts That Last a Lifetime

Do you remember what you received for your wedding, birthday, or housewarming? Some gifts fade from memory, but others stay with us for decades. Why? Because they’re unique, handmade, and filled with character.

My handmade bowls are designed to be those memorable gifts - perfect for every occasion. Whether it’s a wedding present, a birthday surprise, or a housewarming gift, these bowls are more than just kitchenware. They’re conversation starters, they’re art pieces, and they’re daily reminders of special moments.

I still cherish handmade items I received almost 40 years ago. They’ve become part of my home and my story. Wouldn’t you love to give a gift that does the same?

How do you use your favorite bowl at home? Share a photo in the comments! Let’s see the many ways these handmade treasures become part of our daily lives.

First Friday Nostalgia Show at Mainframe, 900 Keosauqua Way. So excited that my piece Threaded Through Time will be in the gallery on the 4th floor. While you are on the 4th floor pop into my studio 411 and meet my assistant Sufia as she does a studio takeover. She has some wonderful pottery for sale.

So excited that my piece “Threaded Through Time” was accepted to the Mainframe Nostalgia show. It will be on display beginning June 5th. It was made using lace from my wedding dress that both my aunt and my mother wore. This one has a lot of love and emotion behind it.

Every time someone sees my Nesting Pods they always comment about loving little bowls! Obviously I do too! ☺️

🏺 Day 2: Behind the Scenes |
Welcome to my happy place. ✨ I’m so excited to finally show you around the studio!
The front of my space doubles as a little showroom — which will be open TONIGHT from 5-8pm! Move further in and you’ll find shelves filled with work in all stages of completion, my kilns, and my shipping station stocked with every box size imaginable. I even shred old cardboard to reuse as packing material — because sustainable shipping matters to me. 📦
Then there’s my creative space — and it is full of inspiration. Art everywhere I look, plus my ever-growing mug collection from so many incredibly talented makers. It brings me so much joy to be surrounded by work I love while I’m making my own.
When it comes to actually creating, I work with my slab roller and my hands, along with a collection of molds, templates, and cutters that help bring each piece to life. I like all my tools within reach — there’s a certain rhythm to the work, and I never want to break it.
And yes — there are plants. Lots of them. 🌿 Big windows, good light, and greenery everywhere. Honestly, it’s the studio of my dreams and I don’t take it for granted for a single day.

If you want to see behind the scenes in person stop by 900 Keo Way Studio 411 from 5-8pm TONIGHT!
