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.

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.
Upcoming Pottery Sales
