Fig & Owl Studio
Morganton, NC
Over two decades ago, I took my first pottery class. It was an introductory class to wheel throwing. I was hooked! I loved getting my hands dirty and the feel of the clay. Since then, I’ve explored many different methods and techniques for creating, decorating, and firing ceramics. For much of my life I could only devote small blocks of time to my practice.
In 2019, after I was laid off from my job in information technology, I decided 23 years in tech was enough. Luckily, my husband was in a similar frame of mind. We sold our house in Asheville and moved back to my family home in rural Morganton NC. Fig and Owl Studio is my new venture. I converted my Dad’s detached garage into a ceramic studio and committed to my craft. Working everyday in the studio has really improved my work. I’m so excited about this new chapter of our lives!
