Made in Sonoma County
I recently made a significant investment in my small pottery business by creating a brand-new home studio! My vision was to have a functional space that would allow me to craft and showcase my collection in a kitchen-like environment. Open Shelves and natural wood elements were the heart of the design. After a full year of design and construction, it’s finally finished, and I couldn't be happier with the outcome. I am eternally grateful to my husband, parents, and friends for their unwavering support throughout this journey. My two young children were also deeply involved; I captured their adorable little handprints in the kiln room doorway, serving as a constant reminder of my motivation to make this business thrive.
