I make stoneware pottery at my home studio in Coeur d’Alene. Most of it is meant to be used every day: mugs, bowls, plates and vases.

Every piece is thrown on the wheel or built by hand. I brush on each coat of glaze instead of dipping, so no two come out the same.

Hi, I’m Kim.

I took my first pottery class at nine, at the community center in Eugene, Oregon. I came back to clay in 2017 with a class at Emerge in downtown Coeur d’Alene. Within a few months I was making pots nearly every day.

Have something in mind?

I take custom orders. I’ve made dinnerware sets, platters, chess sets, and mugs with the outline of Lake Coeur d’Alene on them.
