Hannah fell into the world of clay by accident. While studying environmental studies at college, she took a ceramics class to fill an art elective. From day one of working with clay, she knew there was no going back, she was stuck in the mud. She spent the rest of her college experience glued to the studio studying clays, glaze making, kilns, form, and everything that goes along with this complex art form. Each part of the process gives her immediate peace and inspiration. From bowls, mugs, and wheel-thrown vessels to complicated glaze chemistries and firing schedules- she has been trying a little bit of everything.
