I share a lot of your aesthetic pursuits of seeking to create beautiful and useful objects for everyday.

I tend to think complex forms require both physical and mental leaps for use which can limit them to special vs.
If I wanted to make special occasion ware, my work would be different. You are a marketing genius and are constantly and consistently promoting your brand. Well, consistent anyway. How I market is constantly changing as the platforms change. Thus, I finally joined Instagram because if you go on IG, you will see posts by everyone you follow.

Can you talk a little bit about the process of creating a professional instructional DVD and your choice of content for the DVD? The DVD came about because my husband and I were both laid-off from our part-time teaching when the Worcester Center for Crafts closed for the full year of , and because my Dad happened to take up video as a hobby in retirement.

Deco seemed the most straightforward to tackle too. I wanted the video and workshop teachings to each complement the other: workshop participants purchase the DVD to refresh on techniques I taught in-person for them, and DVD-purchasers often wind up in a workshop because they enjoyed the DVD.

My influences for my Victorian mod porcelain vessels range from 18 th century silver service pieces to couture clothing and from Art Nouveau illustrations to cake fondant. Such diversity combined with my own background and distinct studio processes culminate into a unique style.
