Rooted in Clay. Based in Ann Arbor.
I make sculptural vessels that aren’t complete until you add a plant. I also teach clay classes and workshops around Ann Arbor.
Recent Work
Explore each series. On a computer, move over a pot to see a possible planting. Plants have been digitally added.
Commissions
I make handbuilt bonsai pots for particular trees. We start with your tree: its shape, its history, and what you hope for in a pot. I draw, test colors, and let the form develop as I work in clay.
Allow eight weeks from acceptance until your pot is ready to ship.

I teach clay classes and workshops around Ann Arbor, from surface design for ceramic artists to beginner-friendly projects with clay and natural materials.
