Greetings!

I’m thrilled to welcome you to my world of clay and creativity. I’m Patti Thompson, a dedicated pottery enthusiast with a passion for transforming humble clay into functional pottery.

My journey with pottery began as a fascination with functional pieces I’d find while traveling. I loved incorporating these finds into my everyday life and sharing these treasures with my family.

The idea that an artist could mold a lump of clay into a favorite bowl or vase that would become a part of every family gathering intrigued me. Over time, this fascination has evolved into a profound connection with the medium—a connection that allows me to express my emotions through every piece I create. I believe every good and perfect gift comes from God and for me, the opportunity and ability to ‘play in clay’ is a sweet gift from the Lord.

My time spent in the studio passes quickly. I enjoy every step in the process. Most often I let the clay tell me what it will become. I may have an intention in mind but the clay and the day determines the final outcome. As is often the case in handmade art, I find some of my favorite pieces were actually a happy accident.

Expressing myself through creating has always been a part of my journey. Whether it be sewing, cake making, gardening or pottery. Thank you for joining me on this artistic journey. Whether you’re here to admire, acquire, or simply connect, I’m honored to have you as part of my pottery story. Together, we celebrate the magic of the handmade, the power of artistic expression, and the joy of finding beauty in the ordinary.

Warmly, Patti Thompson
