Emily re-imagines the connection between our lives and the objects we live with by bringing a high level of design to the intimate landscape of the home and yard. Her unique forms are in dynamic relationship with the materials that capture her imagination — metal, stone, clay, wood. With her ancestral roots in pottery, weaving, and geology, Emily is a hands-on maker with one eye on the silence of design and the other on the exuberance of natural elements.

When working with clay, engineering and texture are at the fore. Using ultra thin slabs, Emily investigates strength in structure—folding and overlapping to seek a harmony of geometry and forms that won’t warp in the kiln. By contrast, she is drawn towards rough imprecision with her glaze work, allowing the alchemy of layering glazes to yield unexpected results.
