Emmaeli Pottery

Here we are, nearing the end of 2021. After participating in three festivals this Fall in the Twin Cities area, I must give humble thanks to the many people who have given me such a warm welcome here in Minnesota. My inventory has been somewhat depleted, but I have added a few new pieces this week, including some fun and colorful wine cups, lanterns, and yes, vases.

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!

Thank you for supporting the Local Arts Community, and stay healthy!
