About Rachel

A decade ago, I took an 8-week beginners pottery class. Then, I got sick, and it turned chronic. But 2023 was the year I decided to no longer wait to be well to choose what I love.

Being a ceramic artist who experiences chronic illness looks a certain type of way. But it’s the biggest gift of being in my body without trying to figure out how to not be in my body.

Other than two beginners classes, I’m self-taught. But I love to take lots of virtual workshops, and over-indulge on Instagram reels and YouTube videos. I’m a loner, but make it whimsical.

In March 2025, one night at 2am, the maze mug concept came to me. Born out of a need to express my experience with invisible illness in a tangible way. Details that often show up are modern lines, texture, and pops of color against neutral backdrops. (It feels like I should link a dating profile?)

When I’m not working with clay, I’m reading, relaxing with my guy, or playing with my pups - and trying to do as much of these as possible outside.

Thank you for being here - whether you’re buying my work, engaging on Instagram, or sharing with others. There’s no me without you (oof😬).
