Occupation: owner of Local Pottery studio and gallery in Pembroke

Proudest Accomplishment:
Definitely my shop. I was so young when I opened that I was able to ride out the bumps, not take shortcuts and stick to my ideals. We've been open since 1996 selling artisan-made fine crafts and keeping classes small so students have a really good experience.

Perfect Day
Aside from throwing pots on the wheel? My somewhat guilty pleasure is reading at the beach.

Looking Forward
To not being so busy! I'm really trying to slow down, spend more time in the garden and with the people I love.

Pass it on
My goal is to bring the appreciation and enjoyment of finely crafted ceramics to the community through the work of the artists I represent and teach.
