Handmade pottery and small-group classes for people who want to create, collect, and learn with clay. Hi, my name is Rachel.

Thoughtful pieces, welcoming instruction, and a hands-on studio experience rooted in craft. I've been disabled since childhood but had a love for art, fantasy, and nature. experiencing the joy and wonders of nature and fantasy started when my grandmother introduced me to the movie Ferngully the last rainforest. Since then, I have been mystified by nature and wanted to share it with everyone. Today

While all pottery is classified as ceramic, not all ceramics are pottery. Pottery refers specifically to functional or decorative objects made exclusively from clay. Ceramics is a broader, scientific term covering any inorganic, non-metallic material that is permanently hardened by intense heat, including spacecraft tiles, industrial parts, and art.


The Key Differences
Understanding the relationship between the two terms boils down to material, purpose, and construction:
Material: Pottery is made solely from natural clay. Ceramics can be made from clay, but also incorporate other inorganic materials like silica, quartz, or alumina.
Purpose: Pottery is traditionally associated with vessels designed to hold something (e.g., cups, plates, bowls, and vases). Ceramics encompass a vast range of items, including floor tiles, bathroom sinks, dental crowns, and electrical insulators.
Making Method: Pottery is typically shaped on a potter's wheel or sculpted by hand. Ceramics can be formed through industrial processes like slip-casting, pressing, or extrusion.

The 3 Main Types of Clay Pottery
When shopping for or making pottery, you will generally encounter three traditional clay bodies:

Earthenware: Fired at lower temperatures ( 1000-1150 Celsius)
The clay remains porous and slightly coarse.

Stoneware: Fired at higher temperatures (1200 Celsius or higher) until the material becomes virtually as hard and non-porous as glass.

Porcelain: Fired at extremely high temperatures (1200-1450 Celsius) with a mixture of fine white clay (kaolin) and ground glass/minerals, resulting in a dense, translucent, and highly durable finish.

Good morning TODAY is LAST CALL to join us at the herbalism workshop of a lifetime!

This is a guided experience. That will bring out the herbalist within you. Together we will craft herbal remedies that you will take home for your apothecary to nourish you and your loved ones and neighbors naturally.

The family herbalist is a highly sought after craft due to everyone beginning to question the modern medicine system that we all have been indoctrinated into. But deep in our bones, our souls know it’s time to get back to our roots and heal through Mother Nature.

If learning herbalism or connecting with like minded individuals is on your heart, I highly encourage you to join us this Sunday. You will not regret investing in yourself. EVER.

YOU are worth the investment of becoming a sovereign soul and relearning what our ancestors once knew.

Herbology Masterclass

Registration closes TONIGHT !
