My world changed in 2020 when I started to lose my vision. There was no clear reason why this started happening.
Let me step back for a minute… I have always loved to create. In 2004, I took a pottery class, fell in love with the craft and never looked back.
I opened, Doublemuse Pottery , on Etsy in 2008. In 2017, I retired from my full time job, watched my grandkids part time and found more time for pottery.
In 2020, everything changed. I could no longer live the life I was used to. I had to make changes to my life and live differently. With the encouragement of my amazing family and friends, I decided to make my hobby a full time business.
People ask “How do I make pottery with almost no vision?” I explain it like this: My mind envisions the piece I want to make, my hands do the work and my heart tells me “well done” or “try again”
I’m fortunate to have a volunteer student from the local high school that comes to my studio a few hours a week to help with things I am not able to do.
I’m so blessed ! I have so much love and encouragement around me and I want to share my talent. I hope that you enjoy the piece I have created for you, made with my hands…and my heart.
