Emmaeli Pottery

The 2022 festival season in Minnesota will be starting in just a few months, and I'm so excited to be a part of that! I'll be posting new pieces as I finish them, which should begin in March sometime. It's a slow process - throwing the pots on the wheel, completing the decorating process, bisque firing and then glazing, and finally, glaze firing! My first full bisque kiln should be firing the weekend of February 12th, and it will be the first of many!

As a beginning potter, in 2015, I wasn't at all certain of where my newfound love of ceramic artistry would take me. Inspired by memories of old vases in my grandmother's home, I began to explore designs from the early 1900's, and the Arts and Crafts movement.   My designs are strongly influenced by potteries such as Rookwood, Roseville, and Newcomb.  

The name, Emmaeli, in case you're wondering, is from the combination of the names of my four legged companions - my black lab, Emma, and my old tabby cat, Eli.  I didn't want them to feel left out....

I hope you enjoy what you see here, and that you will visit often!
