Hi I’m Connor!

I first met clay as a mug at the farmers market in the small rural town I grew up in. I was 11 and knew nothing about the process but was enamored with the outcome.

Fast forward 10 years and I walked into my first pottery class post–college graduation. It quickly became apparent that I wasn’t a natural—but I was smitten. I wanted to learn, and I needed to make with my hands. That studio became my sanctuary, a place where I’d attempt to wrestle a mound of clay into submission and only half (okay, less than half) the time emerge victorious.

It’s hard to believe that first pottery class was nearly 10 years ago, and I’m still smitten with clay—still curious about every facet of the craft and excited to explore them.

These days you’ll find me making in my cozy garage studio in Richmond, VA, on the Southside of the river, alongside my husband Randy, a woodworker (and yes, our adjacent studio spaces come with their own quirks and challenges).

I’ve found a home between forms and glaze hues, with the occasional creative collaboration that keeps things feeling fresh and true. Thanks for being here, and if you snag a piece thanks for loving it long after it’s left my care.
