What began as a simple desire to make my very own pottery mug in 1994 quickly evolved into a life-long passion for creating with clay

Welcome! I’m Cherie, a self-taught potter, living in the foothills of western Maine. My home studio is surrounded by peaceful woods where observed natural inspirations shape my work. I enjoy exploring these forms, colors, and patterns in clay. My thoughtfully-made functional and decorative ceramics feel good in-hand, and surfaces feature patterns and textures that are calming to see.

Studio life is balanced with my loves outside of the studio... family and friends, volunteering locally, assisting at my day job (Firebird Foundation for Anthropological Research), and teaching clay. Wherever I am, I can often be found with a favorite mug in hand. Using my handmade pottery brings me a smile. I hope my ceramics radiate the same joy for you, and become a treasured part of your everyday.
