Red clay, you are MESSY!

That's it. That's the post. 😜😆

Working out a new incense burner for this summer's markets. ✨

I burn incense all the time but that messy ash getting everywhere - dislike. This form is a little bigger on purpose so it catches all that.

I like designing new forms this way - thinking through how it’ll be held, used, and lived with. 🤲

It’s been a minute over here - back at the wheel this weekend and it felt good to get my hands in the clay again. 🥰

Spring’s here 🌱 (we made it to the equinox - halfway to the longest day ☀️), and with it…a lot of new. New pieces taking shape, new summer shows on the calendar, a new class I’ll be teaching soon, and new work in progress for the annual BAYarts ceramics exhibition in May.

More to come, but for now - some freshly thrown serving bowls and just getting started on the 2026 season! 🌸

Hey Cleveland peeps! I'm teaching a "Create Night" class at BAYarts this Spring! If you always wanted to try pottery, this is a low-commitment chance to do so. Two Friday nights in the ceramics studio...on the first night you will build a snack set (think: chip and dip) and the second night you will glaze it. We fire it in the kiln for you and you get your own functional pieces to take home and use. 🥰🎉🙌 Click on the link below for more info!

Sound the alarm! Our spring class offerings are now available for preview! Click the link below to see all we have in store for both adults and children this spring. From ceramics to needle arts to painting and more, we have something for students of all ages and skill levels. Registration opens on Tuesday, February 10 at 9 am, so market your calendars and get ready to join us for a bright, creative spring at BAYarts!

Happy Winter Solstice! ❄️☕ Here’s to enjoying the long nights, a warm mug of coffee or tea, and celebrating the return of the light.

Good gifts for people who love handmade soap—or who just want a less chaotic sink. 😜These also work great as sponge holders 🧼

Cleveland’s still leaning hard into winter, which makes blue glazes and snowflake pieces feel especially right. ❄️

You can find these in my online shop and I have a few of these pieces available at the BAYarts shop too—a great stop if you’re local and want to see more handmade work from CLE artists.

Stacked and ready—I make these mandala trinket dishes all the time and they are one of my favorites. I get to play with different glaze colors on these, and they’re super useful too (I keep one on my dresser for jewelry). They’re an easy, affordable gift that goes fast at markets—people get the price, the practicality, and the little mindfulness vibe that comes with a mandala.

I have a bunch of these in the online shop right now if you want to grab one (or a few) before the holidays.

This is the part that sealed the name of this collection—the indigo blue inside. I’m a fan of the contrast: the wood block pattern printed on the outside, the deep indigo blue on the inside that makes you do a double take. I adore this color and it feels like a little reward when I'm drinking my morning coffee. 😍

Getting a few quiet studio hours in today with my wood printing blocks and some blue underglaze. Turns out I really like the repetition and focus of making the prints that are the basis of my main work—I put on some music or a podcast let my analytical mind take a break! 😜
