Inspiration for our pottery comes from our garden, family travels, the seasons, our grandmother's kitchens, our students, and our school-aged daughter. We love the simplicity of Japanese forms and the boldness of early 20th-century American colors. It made sense to try to combine the best aspects of both. Our pottery is meant for daily use; to be an everyday celebration of the simple.
