My work falls into two distinct but interconnected practices. My utilitarian ceramic work is grounded in a deep connection to the natural world. Working with clay—an elemental, earth-derived material—grounds me both physically and spiritually, fostering a connection to the earth and to God. The functional objects I create are intended to be used and enjoyed, inviting moments of connection and the making of memories in everyday life.
Â
Alongside this, my mixed media practice engages memory, faith, and compulsion through the use of personal symbols and metaphors. I incorporate repetitive processes such as hand sewing, writing, and the hammering of pins as acts of meditation. These gestures allow me to slow down and reflect, processing lived experiences through material and repetition. This body of work explores transformation and responds to signs I attribute to a higher power

Real moments and beautiful pieces in their new homes.
"This mug has quickly become one of those little pieces in my home that feels like so much more than just a mug! I use it every single morning, and somehow it has become part of my morning ritual. There’s just something special about reaching for a handmade piece that I truly love and enjoying my coffee, tea, or lately, a pumpkin spice hot chocolate in it. One of the things I love most about your mugs is the way the handles feel in your hand! I don’t know how to explain it other than they just feel right. You can tell how much thought and care goes into every little detail. They’re beautiful, but they’re also made to actually be held, used, and enjoyed. This dark blue mushroom mug is my favorite. There’s something about the little mushrooms and that deep blue glaze that I just adore. It feels cozy and special, and it has become my mug. I would love to slowly build a collection of your pottery over the years. I have a vision of eventually getting a hanging shelf just for my pottery and filling it with pieces I’ve collected from you over time. I love the thought of being able to look at that shelf someday and remember when and why I chose each piece. I think that’s what makes handmade pottery so special, It doesn’t just sit on a shelf it becomes part of your everyday life and your memories! Thank you for making pieces that are meant to be loved, used, and enjoyed. This little mushroom mug has definitely become part of my story."

'I came to Emily with a design in mind for myself and a friend. She was kind enough not only to bring my vision to life, but to add her own creative touches. This piece is so special to me and one of my favorite mugs. Emily can make your dream piece come to life with ease. She's the best!!"
