West Cottage Clay Pottery

I turned to pottery as a way to try to clear my heart and my head. It immediately felt like home.

I have found so much peace, so many life lessons from creating from clay. West Cottage is named after my Gran’s cottage which I grew up viewing as sacred land. I like to think that the same warm, cozy, lighthearted and comforting feelings I got from West Cottage, is exactly how you feel while watching. West Cottage pottery focuses on one of a kind handmade stoneware. I believe that each piece holds a story and a lesson both to me the potter and to you the owner of the piece.

Things pottery has taught me:
-let things be what they need to be; don’t make them what you want them to be
-slowing down and moving intentionally yields beautiful, unique results
-attempting to over-control yourself or things outside of yourself often results in an imploding relationship
