Guild member since 2019

Pottery is deeply integrated in Eryn’s life. Handmade brings the soul back down to earth and to our ancestors in a way no other art form can. Eryn says that when she began learning ceramics, she had no intention other than to fill a time slot in her college freshman schedule, but she quickly I fell in love with it. Eryn remembers sitting in her uncle’s pottery studio, watching him work, and she credits him as being the greatest influence on her work. She is inspired by the earth around her, and she emulates natural textures and colors in her surface designs.
