Handmade pottery that holds moments, stories, and relationships—at the hearth and at the table.
from the artist
In my work at Red Thread Pottery, I create pieces meant to hold the moments, stories, and relationships woven along that invisible red thread."
"My Giving Pots™ and Gathering Bowls are simply handmade places to tuck cards, share meals, and make the kind of everyday memories that slowly turn into family traditions.
With three daughters from China, this proverb has always felt personal to me. Red Thread Pottery is my way of giving those invisible connections a place to land—pots and bowls that quietly collect the stories of your life.
"An invisible red thread connects those who are destined to meet, regardless of time, place, or circumstance. The thread may stretch or tangle, but it will never break." – Chinese proverb
