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 daily life.
