Handbuilding Pottery

In addition to the joy of hosting guests and providing wellness services, I am a visual artist, and ceramic art is my medium. It is therapeutic and grounding to work hands-on with clay, a medium that is meditative and versatile; I value the time I have to create functional works like dishware, as well as planters for my houseplants. I enjoy teaching a beginner how to bring to life their first piece, sharing ideas with fellow intermediate craftmakers, and building connections with Atlanta local artists.
