When we're not making pottery, or teaching pottery to others, or doing pottery business things, we like to grow our own food, ride bikes, swim, travel, walk in the woods, and drive our 1970's-era tractor. And while we're doing these things, we're often dreaming about our own hydropower, a future flock of happy chickens, and a new roof on our house!

Nathan was born in Tennessee and grew up all over- Nebraska, Texas, New Hampshire- before getting a studio art degree from Bates College in Maine. Nathan has worked at potteries around the country making everything from miniature porcelain teapots to historic reproduction salt ware.

Becca was born in New Hampshire and raised on the coast of Maine. Becca majored in art at Swarthmore College outside of Philadelphia, and then moved back to the New Hampshire woods to be a full-time studio potter.

We were both pursuing careers in clay when we met: Nathan called Becca to see if she’d be a guest instructor at his studio, and we hit it off on the phone. We met half way between our houses for a blind date of kayaking and we were engaged three months later!
