About

I started in high school. I started when I was 16. I had a class that I took, and I just kind of fell in love with it. I took the class, I did a little bit of pottery here and there, and then, because of housing situations — it requires some equipment that did not fit in an apartment with seven other dudes — I had to take a break for a little bit. I’d been doing pottery as a hobby for a long time, but it just felt like I was getting good enough that I wanted to dive in and see what I could do with it. I like doing things all the way, and I got to a point where I was so interested in pottery and so obsessed with getting better at it that I was like, well, I just have to do this for a job. That’s kind of where the business side of it started. I started doing markets about then, like farmers markets and craft markets and things like that. I’ve expanded to have an online presence since then as well.
