Potter On The Farm

Potter On The Farm is my way of bringing together some of my passions; pottery and plants, craft and conservation.

I’ve been working with plants for over 25 years as a gardener, landscaper, native plant enthusiast, forager, budding herbalist and land steward. Since 2022 we have been farming native woodland medicinal herbs and small batch nursery plants on our mountainside property in Swannanoa, Talus Slope Farm. Our offerings will grow and change with the seasons, just as we all do.

I began working with clay in 2010 at our local community college, and fell in love with wood firing and salt glazing while working towards my degree at UNC Asheville. Upon graduation in 2015 I set up a studio and home with my husband, Matt, and in 2020 we built a wood fired kiln. I make durable, stoneware pottery to be used in the home, out in the garden, or at a potluck with friends.
