Welcome! This website is about pots. And food. For me, these two things are inextricably linked. I make pots for eating and serving food. I make food to eat and serve out of pots. I love to feed people and I love to make pots for people.
The process of transformation is inherent to working with clay and to cooking. Ingredients are transformed by peeling, cutting and combining. Clay is transformed by shaping on the wheel, trimming, decorating, and glazing. The application of heat is important in the final transformation of clay to pottery and ingredient to finished dish. And when heat is in the form of fire itself, that transformation is especially dramatic.
As a potter, cook, mother, and psychologist, I am interested in creating and witnessing transformation. In making this site, I have tried to transform words and pictures into the story of my relationship with pots and with food.
I hope you enjoy the site!

I just love your whole philosophy, Deb, and have been following you on Instagram. The meaning in pots to eat from is immeasurable. Making pots for this purpose is rewarding and not without great skill. It helps to love food ( and we both do hehe). I think that truly helps in making finctional, easyto use wares.
And your glazes!! Oh they’re so beautiful. Do you fire in gas/reduction? I’m expecting so. I used to but moved state abdnow use a club kiln with a liceky group. I am trying not to purchase another since I’m doing more printmaking and artists books (@wildaboutbooksnprint) and glass @kssedbytheflame and of course my yarn is therapy @wildaboutyarn these days. However, clay is creeping back in. Its forcing thru my veins. Its definitely in my blood : ) i look forward to more of your beautiful pics and recipes. Off to make mindfulness muffins. lu x

Hi,
I see and love your posts on FB. This is the first time I’ve seen this blog and am wondering if you sell the beautiful bowls you make. Pre pandemic I frequented craft shows and prefer to buy things that are made by individuals as opposed to mass produced. These items are not only a pleasure to look at and use but also seem so much more personal. I’d be so happy to own something you create.

Thanks so much, Carol. I closed down on line and local sales a couple of years ago when my folks were dying and then while settling their estates. Just not enough time to manage the business end and my psych practice and still have time for studio work. Currently working on projects for friends and family. Considering looking for a partner to handle reopening…
If you’re ever in Warwick, we could arrange a studio tour.
