Hi, I’m Amelia!

I am a mother and interdisciplinary artist making all the vessels you will find here out of my home studio in North Ferrisburgh, Vermont. I made my first bowl on a wheel in 2008 and have been passionate about pottery ever since.

I grew up on ancestral lands of the Abenaki people in Northeasterly Vermont and have since returned to call this place home, after 10 years in Colorado and Washington state. In 2015, while finishing my degree in Environmental Studies and Traditional Eastern Arts at Naropa University, I began selling my pots on the side with no idea I’d be here now…doing this work for a living! My goal as a potter is (and always has been) to create earthly functional vessels that act as timeless symbols for nourishment, slowness, warmth, and thoughtfulness- made with lots of heart.

After spending the first 2 years of our daughters life as a full time mama (hardest job I've ever had), I am grateful to return to the studio- reconnecting with clay and, in turn, myself.

When I am not in the studio, you can find me chasing around our spirited toddler, in the woods/walking down quaint dirt roads with our dog Piper (and Aja in spirit), knitting/sewing, cooking/baking (lots of sourdough), playing tennis, gathering with friends, gardening, seeing live music, and learning about plant medicine. I feel strongly about practicing compassion (both for self and others) and living a slow lifestyle- which is forever a practice and oftentimes more of a challenge than not. I care deeply for the earth and standing up for the rights of all inhabitants upon it.
