About My Work

As a ceramic artist, nature lover, and knitter,  I am drawn to the sensory experiences of craft and the natural environment; I unite these passions through the lens of ceramics. 

​

My practice is rooted in authenticity. Whether knit, hand built, or thrown, each piece is an offering of my presence. I make each of my pieces from start to finish; no other hands but mine have touched the work in progress. 

​

Intended to add a touch of special to the daily routine, I create functional ware that is a bridge between life and art - objects that carry both creative beauty and utility.

​

 On the other side of functional lies my work known as 'knit porcelain'. It lives at the intersection of softness and strength, where the nature of fiber and clay are challenged-transforming yarn, typically fluid and soft, into something firm and enduring.

​About My Studio Practice

My love for the natural environment has shaped the way I operate my studio. Michi Pottery was certified by Durango Four Core as a Green Business in 2024.

 

I recycle clay and slip, studio water is reused, the studio is equipped with solar panels, and studio materials are collected, repurposed, recycled, and/or disposed of thoughtfully.
