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.
Each image leads to more work from that series.
If a piece catches your eye, email me to ask about it. You can also find my pots at the galleries and garden centers listed below.

Commissions
If you have a special tree, I take commissions on a limited basis.
Tell me what draws you to your tree and what you’re looking for in a pot. I’ll want to see the tree in person if possible, or work from photographs. We’ll discuss the practical requirements, and I’ll sketch a direction for you to approve. The final form develops as I work in clay, so I need room for it to change along the way.
Email me with photos and a little about your tree. I’ll let you know whether I have space and talk you through the process.
