Maddy Made Pottery

Ceramics/Pottery

Coming from a family of botanists, it is hard not to see the beauty in all things flora. When I found the medium of clay it felt like a no brainer to combine them. I work out of my home studio creating each piece with love. I start with wet clay and either throw it on the pottery wheel or build it by hand. Once the structure is created I use that as my canvas. I incorporate nature in many ways from pressing leaves to sculpting flowers petal by petal. The pieces then get fired, glazed, and re-fired. After quality checking, sanding, and photographing my work, they are ready to find their forever homes.
