Joy-fueled Ceramics for a Joy-filled Life

Drawing inspiration from the serene hues and organic patterns she observes in her surrounding landscape, Cherie Giampietro thoughtfully applies a touch of nature's palette to every piece she creates. She is the artist and potter behind Ceramic Design by Cherie, a collection of handcrafted, original ceramics featuring distinctive earth tones and inviting textures, all lovingly designed to bring warmth and beauty to daily life. All of her pottery and glazes are made by her in her home studio in Farmington, Maine.
