alpine hills pottery

This website captures samples of some current artwork. The name of the site, Alpine Hills Pottery, is based on the name of the neighborhood where I currently live and also happens to be the neighborhood where I grew up.

My mother also used Alpine Hills in her art business name, which was Alpine Hills Pottery & Painting. I contribute my beginning knowledge of art to her. Pottery is especially dear to me as I have many fond memories of playing with clay and learning to throw on the wheel at a really young age, around 7 or 8 years of age.

My fond memories included attending art shows with my mother, including Super Saturday held at The Evergreen State College (TESC). I made a small collection of pots that I learned to sell (including adding orders and making change) along side my mother.

Until recently my last years of touching clay were during my highschool years as my last pieces thrown at that time were done when a young man named Kevin Powers, now my husband, enlisted my help to teach him how to throw. Many years later in 2016 I reintroduced myself to pottery in a class at The Evergreen State College, TESC. At this point I fell in love with creating pottery again and am currently a member of TESC Clay Club. In the near future I will be claiming my mothers pottery equipment and I am excited about having a studio at my homestead located in Alpine Hills.

My artwork has improved some since I was a child. Please enjoy the more current samples provided to you on this site.
