ABOUT:

I'm Emily, the hands behind the wheel and the heart behind each piece. With a BFA from Alfred University, where I concentrated in ceramics, my journey into pottery has been one of lifelong dedication and learning.

With a background as a production potter for esteemed brands like the Ritz Carlton, the Pendry, Montage Resorts and Hotels, Marriott, Hilton, and local Michelin-star chefs and restaurants in the Washington DC area, I understand the importance of quality and precision in every piece I create. From form to finish, I meticulously handcraft and glaze every item, using my knowledge of glaze chemistry to create distinctive finishes that speak to the soul of each piece.

Drawing inspiration from the rich heritage of traditional early American pottery, I'm thrilled to soon announce the launch of my studio. With a passion for ceramics and expertise in custom orders, I'm dedicated to bringing your unique vision to life. Join me in exploring the artistry and beauty of handmade pottery, designed to enrich your space and inspire creativity.
