In September, 2018 we moved into our new home, I opened the doors of my new pottery studio, and Merry Farm Pottery was born.

On June 16, 2018 I married the love of my life! In the months before the wedding I made 150 cups, for our guests to drink from at the reception, and then to keep as a momento.

This Summer, as I was preparing to finish my time in North Carolina, a great opportunity came up out of nowhere.

Will Ruggles and Douglass Rankin, known together as Rock Creek Pottery, made pots in Buladean, NC for 27 years. They instructed and inspired a generation of Western North Carolina potters. Their annual home sales were a pilgrimage site for potters and pottery enthusiasts throughout the region, until 2007, when they closed down their studio.

I first encountered clay at the same time that I began practicing meditation. It has been more than 10 years since those first encounters, and clay and meditation continue to be the twin pillars upon which my life revolves.

Wherein I move to North Carolina to follow my dreams of becoming a potter.
