HOW LONG HAVE YOU BEEN PRACTICING YOUR CRAFT?
I’ve been making ceramics for about 6 years now.
WHAT DREW YOU TO YOUR MEDIUM ORIGINALLY?
The first ceramics class I took was a weekend jewelry making workshop and it just seemed like it would be fun! I realized I really loved working with clay and immediately signed up for a wheel throwing class and kept going from there.
WHAT INSPIRES YOU MOST & HOW IS THAT REFLECTED IN YOUR WORK?
I’ve been told my work looks very ‘80s’ and I can see it! I am definitely inspired by the era I grew up in and I have so much nostalgia and love for the 70s + 80s. I love to look at the shapes and colours of objects from the past for inspiration.
DO YOU HAVE A FAVORITE ITEM TO MAKE? WHY IS IT YOUR FAVORITE?
I don’t really have a favourite item, but my favourite part of the process is glazing. I love taking a shape from a blank canvas to something colourful and fun and with its own personality.
WHAT DO YOU WISH CUSTOMERS UNDERSTOOD BETTER ABOUT HANDMADE ITEMS?
