About the Artist

Welcome to Wandering Mud! I'm a potter and ceramic artist working out of my home studio. My work is rooted in the belief that everyday objects should bring joy — a morning cup of coffee, a bowl of soup at the end of the day.

I work primarily with stoneware clay, using a combination of wheel throwing and hand building techniques. Each piece is glazed and fired in a small kiln, resulting in unique surfaces and textures that celebrate the handmade process.

When I'm not in the studio, you can find me exploring nature, hunting for interesting textures and colors that inspire my next batch of glazes.

The Process

Forming

Each piece begins on the wheel or by hand, shaped from a ball of raw stoneware clay.

Drying & Trimming

Once leather-hard, pieces are trimmed to refine their shape and left to dry completely.

Bisque Firing

The first kiln firing hardens the clay and prepares it to accept glaze.

Glazing & Final Fire

Glaze is applied by hand, then fired a second time to create a durable, food-safe finish.
