An adventure in clay.

I am a wife of 30 years, a mother of five, and a grandma of four living on the Gulf Coast of Alabama. After decades centered around family and home, I’ve begun a new chapter as the maker behind Five Branches Pottery. Named for the 5 beautiful human beings I was blessed to bring into this world, I aim to create functional ceramic pieces for everyday living — pottery meant to be used, gathered around, and woven into the rhythms of daily life.

Despite my very first job as a teenager working in a ceramic shop in Florida, I am new to the pottery wheel. I have always had a creative flare but what I have found in pottery is a passion. Every time I sit down at the wheel, I am reminded to slow down, relax, and breathe. I have been given so much in my life to be thankful for and I hope that these carefully crafted pieces will inspire you to find the beauty in those things and people around you.

Please enjoy perusing some of my work below as there is always something in the works. Let me know what special order I can create for you today!
