So, my monthly Studio Stories updates have fallen by the wayside, but I figure I’m right in line with the “rules” for 2020. As I’ve shifted my business focus, I’ve been thinking about changing this update too. I’ve always touted working with clay as a very mindful practice… in the past few months, I’ve likely […]
I am so grateful for clay. We live with all of those terrible feelings of such uncertainty right now, and we don’t know for how much longer (days, months, years????). I was reading in a recent Walrus issue about how our brains are doing during this pandemic – how our brains don’t cope very well […]
This meant the world to me!! A friend of mine recently asked me to create a heART stone for a special someone in her life. I am totally inspired by how this Mom has approached a somewhat unexpected shift in her child’s path. When I asked her to tell the story of her journey with […]

I’ve missed seeing actual people but I’ve pivoted to include on-line ordering and at-home Paint-Your-Own-Pottery Kits to ensure you can keep being creative! We’re also fully socially connected now! Links to our platforms are at the bottom of this email and at […]
In uncertain times, it helps to think forward with a hopeful heart. To keep routines and traditions to provide touchstones. In the spirit of looking forward to a better time, I’m going to release my newsletter for you to see what has gone on this past month (or so) and you can dream about all […]
