About Us
The long and winding road...
LionHeart Clays Pottery Studio is the realization of a decades-long dream that began with a nerdy, frizzy-haired teenager in a high school ceramics class. After college, a stint working in sales, grad school, and a thirty-one year career teaching accounting and finance to high school students, the dream is alive again. New career - new direction. I have always loved the hands-on creative process involved in creating unique pieces of pottery, bringing together wheel-thrown elements with hand sculpting, and unique glazing techniques.
With the support of my amazing wife Wendy and daughter Clara, encouragement of friends and extended family, and companionship and watchful eye of studio cat Splinter, LionHeart Clays was born in the basement and garage of our residence, with the goal of selling at local art fairs, artist markets, Renaissance festivals, and online.
I'd also like to give a sincere shout out to my high school art teacher, Mr. Clint Gjerde, for initiating and inspiring the passion, and to Ann Manor of Meadowong Studios for rekindling and encouraging the creative fire thirty-some years later!
Uniquely Yours
One of a Kind Artistry
Each LionHeart piece is created by hand, so no two will ever be the same. Each and every mug, bowl, wall hanging, and sculpture is created to be a unique piece of functional or decorative art for you to use, display, and love.
