About KC Clayworks

How it started

I'm from Newtown, Connecticut — married, a mom of two, and officially in the empty-nester phase. In 2022, I finally tried something I'd always dreamed of: pottery. What started as “just a class” quickly became a full-blown love affair with clay — and I've been happily covered in it ever since.

I wouldn't be on this journey without my family. My husband of 30 years and our two kids have supported me from the start — helping set up a studio, listening to glaze stories, and graciously making room for more handmade gifts than they probably have space for. Their patience and encouragement mean the world.

The work

I love combining hand-building and wheel work, creating everything from modern sculptural pieces to delicate flowers, birds, and nests — those tiny, thoughtful pieces are my favorite.

Pottery reminds me of life: you start with one plan, it changes, and sometimes the unexpected result is even better. And if it doesn't? It's only clay — you begin again.

Every piece I make is crafted with love and intention, with the hope that it will find a special place in someone's home.

Shipping-only

I ship all orders from Newtown, CT. I don't offer local pickup at this time, but I pack every order with care and use materials that protect the work during transit. If you receive a piece that's damaged, please reach out — I'll make it right.
