📣My kiln is officially disconnected from the old studio…and will be up and running again soon in my new space!

Just to clarify: I’m not closing my studio or retiring or selling my equipment. I’m relocating. Someone wished me luck on retiring, which gave me a good laugh. 😂🤷‍♀️
I’m streamlining my setup into a smaller studio space at home where I can continue the same level of production, with far less overhead costs and a more sustainable plan moving forward.

I’m booked through fall with custom tile work, including an upcoming historic tile restoration project currently in development. I’ll also be teaching my usual summer workshop at the Children’s Museum. So I may be off the radar for a while, as I’m focused on getting the new studio up and running again! I’m still available for custom tile and art consultations, but may be slower to respond in the coming weeks.

I’ll post updates as the new space comes together. Thanks to everyone who supported my work over the years!
Cheers to many more years of creating! 🥂

Odds and ends from different eras of my ceramic studio practice. Seconds, older work, prototypes. My pottery inventory is baren but there are a few items left, plus handmade tile pendant necklaces and some holiday ornaments. Also some old weird wall pieces still available! Heck some of these pieces are over 20 years old so they’re “Vintage”!!! 🙌👵🏻😜😅
I’m trying to finish up 2 more upcycled tables with tile remnants (first picture).
Who knows what else I might dig out….
Stop by and see what’s left! Make an offer I can’t refuse. Get you some original local ceramic art or sketches. Help lighten my load for my move. I’m tired of packing. 😵‍💫

Posted about this historic tile restoration project a month or so ago (still in negotiations but hope they choose to restore the tile in this 110 year old building downtown Indy!) First pic shows a flat lay of the originals with some of my handmade tiles from the first round of glaze testing process. Following pics show the original historic tiles in situ. Took an original tile back to my studio and while cleaning it I discovered it isn’t a glossy glaze, it’s a matte glaze that had been coated with a varnish at some point- that peeled right off to reveal the rich matte deep green glaze, which is typical for that time period.
My studio is half packed and turned upside down during mid-move….but managed to squeeze out some glaze samples. Hope to get started on this project after I get settled into my new space! 🤪
Shout out to my friend for helping me decide which glaze blends to try 👊🤓

Friends. I’m closing the studio sale at 5 today! Please message me if you want to stop by this week. If you’re looking for local pottery gifts don’t forget to check out Fountain Square Clay Center pottery sale which is happening now and tomorrow (Sunday).
Thanks again to everyone who stopped by! I really appreciate the support as I’m preparing to make this big move.
I’ll be out of here by end of May and hope to be back up and running by mid-June in my new garage studio! I’ll post updates.
Thanks 🙏

Last tile commission in this space heading to the kiln for bisque firing! 🥲
These tiles are custom made for Cory Robinson Studio for two new tables with his retro MCM-inspired designs.
I’m relocating my studio at the end of May and will be back in operation this summer. In addition to this final project, I’m still working on glaze tests for a historic tile restoration and designing a fireplace hearth. Those works will be the first creations in my new space!
I will be posting dates for a studio liquidation sale in the coming weeks, and available by appointment for preview sales!
More details coming soon.
