CO CERAMICS STUDIO

I first touched clay when I was very young — I was 22, which already feels like another lifetime. What drew me in wasn’t just the material itself, but the feeling it gave me: a deep sense of calm, focus, and quiet. Clay is patient. It allows mistakes. You can reshape it, soften it, and begin again.Looking back, I understand that this process became something more — a kind of therapy. As an AuDHD creator, I naturally gravitate toward working alone, in silence, fully immersed in what I create. Clay meets me there — steady, forgiving, and grounding. It gives me space to focus, to regulate, and to stay present.My work lives somewhere between fairy tales and forests. I create functional ceramics inspired by animals, nature, and imagined worlds — pieces that feel a little magical, sometimes a little strange, balancing between softness and subtle grotesque forms. I am drawn to contrasts: cute and odd, gentle and slightly uncanny.I love making things that feel endearing — objects that can spark a small emotional reaction. When I feel that moment of affection or curiosity toward a piece while creating it, I know I’m on the right path. I want others to feel something similar when they hold it in their hands.Every piece is made entirely by hand, from shaping raw clay, through slow drying and multiple firings, to glazing and sometimes adding gold or luster details in a final firing. This process takes time and attention, but that is exactly what I value. Detail matters to me, but so does emotion — and a quiet sense of humor that often finds its way into my work.Ceramics, for me, is also a way of connecting with other people. Selling my work is not just about objects — it is about sharing a feeling. When someone chooses one of my pieces, it becomes a small bridge between us. I hope it brings a moment of joy, reflection, or even a sense of something slightly magical in everyday life.I see my work as both personal and functional. It can be a meaningful gift, something symbolic, or simply an object that makes daily rituals a little more special.I am both grounded and dreamy — a mix of warmth and imagination. Creating is the moment when everything becomes fully present and real. It is, in many ways, the most honest form of expression I know.All my pieces are unique — I never use molds, so no two works are ever exactly the same. I also create custom orders, from small adjustments to fully personalized designs inspired by your ideas, memories, or beloved animals. I’m always happy to help shape an idea into something real and lasting.And finally — every piece is carefully packed by my husband, Chris, whose incredible precision makes it possible for these fragile objects to safely travel across the world.
