Loma Prieta Pottery

Welcome to Loma Prieta Pottery Stoneware and porcelain pottery inspired by the desert, lovingly handcrafted and designed to function beautifully in your home. Pottery makes a great gift. Tea tastes better in a handmade mug, so does coffee! My work with clay began as a serious hobby in the mid-70's when I discovered my love of making and using functional pottery. Formerly located in the Santa Cruz Mountains of California, Loma Prieta Pottery is now located in my home studio in a relatively rural area of Tucson, Arizona. The studio is in a separate building just a few steps from my home. The studio is compact and comfortable with lots of windows with inspiring desert views including one of the Tucson Mountains. I am frequently visited by quail, rabbits, a hawk named Merlin, a few sneaky coyotes, javelinas and a bobcat named Geronimo. In 2020, my friend, neighbor and fellow artist, Michelle Lister, joined me in the studio to both make some of her own work and to collaborate with me by decorating my pottery.
