A ceramic mug held in a person's hand enhances the outdoor landscape of a foggy field with greenery and trees in the background.

What began as a simple desire to make my very own pottery mug in 1994 quickly evolved into a life-long passion for creating with clay.

Welcome! I’m Cherie, a self-taught potter, living in the foothills of western Maine. My home studio is surrounded by peaceful woods where observed natural inspirations shape my work. I enjoy exploring these forms, colors, and patterns in clay. My thoughtfully-made functional and decorative ceramics feel good in-hand, and surfaces feature patterns and textures that are calming to see.

Studio life is balanced with life outside of my studio — assisting at an anthropological research foundation, volunteering with BWC, to maintain our local Flint Woods and Powder House Hill Trails, and teaching clay. Wherever I am, I can often be found with a favorite mug in hand. Using my handmade pottery brings me a smile. I hope my ceramics radiate the same joy for you, and become a treasured part of your everyday.
