About Me

Hey (:

My name is Rachel, I'm 24 years old, and I live in Austin, Texas.

My pottery journey began in 2022 with a project that challenged me to create 100 mugs. This challenge not only gave me a clear goal but also improved my skills in throwing, trimming, attaching, glazing- teaching me the art of pottery through repetition. After 100 iterations, I made a mug I’m really proud of.

You can read more about this journey and see all 100 iterations here.

What I loved most about this process was the cycle of making, learning, and improving—each iteration brought me closer to making a great mug.

For my next collections, I plan to apply this same iterative approach to new forms. Though hopefully this time it won't take me 100 tries. 

Every piece I make is stamped with the date that it was thrown on. Each piece also has it's own number- 001, 002, 003- the number resets after a new collection. 

Make, learn, try again, and make better.

<3 Rachel
