New drinkware is coming to the shop soon! I’ve been refining these shapes to find the perfect balance between tactile comfort and daily durability. The Lineup: • 12-14 oz Everyday Mugs: The go-to size for your morning ritual. • 10 oz Thumb Tumblers: Features a single ergonomic indent for a secure grip. • 8 oz Thumb Cups: Designed with two specific indents for a perfectly balanced feel in the hand. The Details: Each piece is thrown in a speckled clay body with a hand-poured scalloped glaze pattern. I’ve sanded the bottoms smooth to protect your surfaces, and every piece is fully food, microwave, and dishwasher safe. Reliable, functional, and ready for your cabinets. Stay tuned for the official drop date. There are also still a few Mega Mugs in the shop! #SmallBatch #FunctionalPottery #SpeckledClay

Sharing my 2025 annual report! Behind every number is a real moment: a mug chosen as a gift, a market conversation that turned into a regular, a package packed late at night with cats supervising. This year brought steady growth, clearer direction, and a deeper understanding of what I want this business to be: thoughtful, functional, and made with care. Thank you for supporting handmade, for showing up in person and online, and for letting my work be part of your everyday life.

I swear this happens every year, I get down on how behind I am on my garden and how I’m not doing enough and then 10 minutes later I pull the perfect little harvest for dinner for two. Oregano Tuscan Kale Spinach Broccolini

Did you know you can find Overbrook Clay pottery in shops in and around Cincinnati? Here I am packing some vases and thumb cups to go to a new wholesale client to be for sale in their home goods and gifts shop. Looking to offer my handmade wheel thrown ceramics in your shop? Or do you have a favorite independent plant shop, boutique, or kitchen stockist you’d like to carry my work? Head to or click the wholesale button on my website. I would love to work with new independent business owners.

I am so excited that these custom ginger beer style bottles are finished and ready to ride. This project actually began back in March when I took the time to run a full round of test bottles to ensure the technical specs were perfect for a vintage bicycle build. While the commission is for a set of three, I made sure to throw five and fire four. Ceramics can be unpredictable during the firing process, so preparing those extras is a necessary part of my workflow to ensure everything goes smoothly. Using a self-leveling laser and calipers, I was able to keep the set very consistent at 9 inches tall with a 12 oz capacity. I also had to carefully account for the clay shrinkage to make sure the final 2.8 inch base would still fit standard bottle cages. Each piece is hand-thrown with speckled stoneware and finished in a Nutmeg glaze. The protruding lip allows for a traditional cork-tie attachment, leaning into that Midwestern outdoorsy aesthetic. It has been such a nostalgic experience bringing these functional, antique-inspired pieces to life.

Completely obsessed with my new flower frog from @overbrookclay 🫶✨🌻🫣 I got her at the markets over the weekend and trust me there will be weekly bouquets🤩 This arrangement is a lot of “trash” flowers… arugula that has gone to seed, chives that volunteered, and a shrubby Ninebark that needed a trim. 🗑️🚮♻️ #flowers #florist #growing #nopesticides #organic

The beauty of functional art is that the story doesn’t end when it leaves the kiln. I love designing pieces that feel at home in different corners of your house, shifting and changing to meet whatever you need in the moment. The crock can keep your favorite wooden spoons within reach today, but it holds a bundle of fresh wildflowers just as well. Your berry bowl acts as a colander for a morning snack, then sits on your table as a centerpiece. Even the spoon rest can find a second life by your sink, keeping a sponge or a bar of soap tidy. There is a simple joy in things that go together—pieces that share a common clay and glaze, working in tandem to make your everyday feel a bit more intentional. Does a specific piece in your kitchen end up being your go-to for everything?

Saturday marks five years since I first set up a table at a market. Looking back at where I started, I feel a deep sense of gratitude for the path that led here. This work only exists because of the people who show up to support it, and I am thankful for every person who has stopped by my booth over the years. To celebrate five years, I have a small gift for the early visitors this weekend. Market Details • Spring Pottery Fair: Saturday, May 2 from 10-4 • Madeira Art Fair: Sunday, May 3 from 11-5 Anniversary Giveaway The first 12 people who spend $50 or more at each market will receive a reusable Tyvek bag. These are durable, lightweight, and perfect for carrying new finds home. I look forward to seeing you there and celebrating five years of this journey together.

New shapes and same floral magic. I am so excited to introduce two brand new additions to my floral family. These pieces are perfect for the tiny wildflowers your kids gathered or those short stems from your own cut flower garden. Meet the New Forms: • The Donut Flower Frog: Playful and modern. With its unique hollow center and perimeter holes, it is designed for those effortless and airy arrangements that let every individual bloom shine. • The Full Bloom Frog: For when you want a little more drama. This dome shaped beauty features a central anchor point and a surrounding ring of holes, giving you the structure you need for a lush and full centerpiece. Both are finished in my signature speckled pink and white glazes. They are functional enough for the daily table but pretty enough to stand on their own. Swipe to the end to see my Quality Control Manager in action. She has a very high standard for petal placement and expects to be paid in treats.
