Announcement The Clayborhood is a shop specializing in hand built pottery. I love bright colors, rainbows, and modern design, making for an overall whimsical feel in my pieces!

Inspired by midcentury modern architecture, my hand built houses have clean roof lines, clerestory windows, and often bright glazes. Bringing together my love of plants + pottery, many of them also double as planters.

I enjoy hand building on a small scale and often make small versions of pottery staples - mugs, saucers, bud vases, and planters.

Welcome and enjoy!

This is the cutest little vase. I got it to put my cats whiskers in when they fall out.

The set of tiny houses I bought from The Clayborhood are so adorable. I've put them on my desk at work to make me smile. They are exactly as described and pictured in the listing. Thanks so much, Clayborhood!

This is my second ceramic succulent from this shop and I love them. They elevate the look of my little succulent planter. Made beautifully and shipped fast and secure. Thank you!

Hand built pottery on a small scale

After being introduced to ceramics in high school, I took many years off until my wife enrolled me in a wheel throwing class in 2016! I immediately fell back in love with pottery and have been making pieces ever since. I enjoy hand building as I feel it gives me the most freedom to create. Every piece is one of a kind. I also like making small pieces - miniature versions of normal items or just things on a smaller scale.

In addition to pottery, I'm passionate about plants, and find that many of my pottery pieces double as planters. I love combining pottery + plants to make interesting vessels to hold succulents and other plants. My favorite is my mini modern houses, which I like to plant up with small succulents.

When I'm not hand building or gardening, I enjoy cross stitch, embroidery, paper crafts, and baking.
