When did you open your Etsy shop?
What inspired you to start your business?
I started out creating pottery as a stress relief and creative outlet and quickly fell in love with it. When I decided to start my business I was truly taking a leap of faith and following my heart rather than my head or the expectations of what others wanted for my future.
How would you describe your business?
I create handmade pottery using a pottery wheel and or hand building techniques. I started pottery when I was 15 or 16 years old, I took a beginner introduction to hand building techniques course and intro to pottery wheel class and then after not creating pottery for a few years, during the last year of my undergrad degree at ubco I decided to get back into pottery again. Not with any expectations or even a thought that I would end up pursuing pottery as a career. I simply bought a bag of clay, searched the house for some random tools and taught myself how to hand build again. After a few months my mom bought me a pottery wheel and I began to create more and more until I didn’t have space to keep all of the pottery and so I decided to upload some of my work onto Etsy. Flash forward two years and I get to wake up everyday pursuing my dream job.
