Welcome

Welcome to the Mud Dauber Nest! Mud Dauber, aka Dirt Dabbers, use clay to build their homes and I have a studio to work with ceramics and pottery which has become my "nest" to create items for homes and gardens.

After I retired from the corporate world, I found a pottery workshop which I had always wanted to do. Two months later I was enrolled in Ceramic Classes in the Fine Arts Department at the local university and I was on my way to a new creative outlet. Before long, I had my own kiln, pottery wheel, slab roller and a whole "nest" of materials to explore my new passion.

I am still developing my own style, but I love the textures and colors that can be created using different materials and glazes. I sometimes am in the mood for pure and simple while other times I may create something more whimsical, but all my pieces are functional. Come by and visit often as I explore ceramics.
