Greetings, from the middle of Indiana.

I’m a ceramic hobbyist working in small batches from a garage studio. I love to make stuff, and you might just love some of it too.

I make cups, mugs, and other functional ceramics for use around the house. Never consistent, I tend to make whatever I make and am tied more to the process than the final product.

The name Morningside comes partially from the idea of exploring new ideas and making things for the sake of making things, mentioned above. It’s a celebration of new possibilities and new beginnings as I make this idea of creating ceramic work for others a reality. The other part of the name is a hat-tip to the attention to detail and craft I learned in my grandpa’s dusty wood shop on Morningside Drive when I was young. He was crafty, but he was also kind. While my small in-home studio satisfies my personal appetite for making crafty things by hand, it also gives me a chance to pass along a little delight to your day, and I’m sure he’d smile about that.

Whether you’re looking for your new favorite mug or the perfect gift for a friend, I appreciate you supporting a local potter and stopping by my little corner of the internet. I hope you find something you—or your friends—love.
