Bloom Pottery

Clay is the easiest way for me to combine my passions for nature, science, and design into individual, functional pieces of art. I strive to create pottery that will become a favorite piece to be used, examined, held, and enjoyed. Cooking and entertaining are some of my favorite past-times, heavily influencing the pottery I create. However, I believe that functionality should not detract from a form’s beauty and design. Motivated by the setting of my home and studio near the Allegheny Plateau, I integrate the flora and fauna I encounter each day into my glaze colors and embellishments. In the end, I make what I like – pottery that is useful, beautiful, and inspirational.
