​My name is MJ. I returned to clay in 2018 after 12 years overseas. Working in tech had made me tired of technology. Forsaking buttons and pixels, I wanted to do something with my hands and make things I could physically hold. Pottery was the perfect fit. I found a direct correlation between time spent in quiet craftsmanship and peace of mind. I jokingly say that pottery was my therapy, but in all truth, God unwound my soul on the potter's wheel. My hobby became a passion which became a vocation.  Today, pottery is an essential and cherished rhythm in my life. Additionally, some of my kids have found things they are good at in this space and are learning entrepreneurship with me.
