My Story

I am a potter working out of Cape Ann, just north of Boston, creating hand-crafted functional pottery for your enjoyment.

Upon graduating from UMass Amherst with a BA in Environmental Design, I moved back to my hometown of Gloucester, MA. Like many fresh graduates, I found myself working countless hours in the hospitality industry while exploring a variety of creative endeavors in my spare time. One day, I came across a flyer for a pottery class at Cynthia Curtis Studio in Rockport MA - I took the class and immediately fell in love with the clay, the studio, and the community of makers I met. Over the past few years I continued to hone my craft and found a real passion for potting. In the spring of 2019 I decided to shake things up, quit my job, and start working full time as the studio manager for Cynthia.

I now spend my days teaching classes at the studio, completing behind the scenes duties, and creating my own designs.

I hope you enjoy my pieces as much as I love creating them!
