-Here are updates and images of projects we have been working on!
I am having a scaling issue and can't make pots fast enough. I had to cancel two spots for black friday and Christmas due to not having the inventory. I am working hard to have custom orders done by Christmas while still balancing work and family. I hope to work out a system so I can plan better. 100 more mugs to go for Christmas and to supply local shops. Having a fun time but feel bad I'm taking so long with some of your projects.
Creek Road Pottery would like to give thanks to those who served our country! Thanks for all you have sacrificed.
Greetings all! So if a guy were to make up some pottery classes what kind of classes do you think would be nice to do? Looking for suggestions. Also what forms of payment would be easier for you all. Is registering online a good idea or is it a pain?
Please join me in congratulating Kurt Brown for winning the "name the glaze effect" . The winning name was "Winter Sky" thanks soo much everyone for submitting all the names and suggestions!

Biography
I was introduced to clay in a basic ceramic class at Keystone College in 1996. It was there that I saw the artist and professor Bill Tersteeg turn a large bowl on his wheel. I fell in love with clay as a medium because I was able to manipulate it in many ways, far easier than painting or drawing. After achieving my AFA, I then spent three years at Marywood University where I completed my BFA in Ceramics with artist and professor Matt Povse. While attending university, I took time off to work an apprenticeship with the artist Sharon DiGennaro at Wild Flower Pottery in Thompson, PA. With student loans to pay off and no studio space, I put my wheel and kilns in storage for a long and sad 10 years and worked in the manufacturing industry. When we bought our home, I put in a small studio and dug out my wheel and kiln. It has been an incredible time working with clay again, and I was encouraged to sell some of my functional work by family. I continued almost where I left off. I have been studying textures on functional ceramics, making conventional forms a work of art for people to enjoy while using them. I hope you enjoy the work and welcome to Creek Road Pottery.
