heritage collection

Inspired by memories of family, things I continue to learn about my heritage & culture, and Ho-Chunk Applique patterns. This collection is deeply personal. I'm thrilled with how expressive the pieces have been, and I'm excited to see how the collection will continue to grow as I continue to reflect and learn more.

New Summer 2026 - OPEN AIR POTTERY

---

We've only just begun exploring the old ways (Mid-Woodland Era "old") to create pottery. Coil built, finished with techniques and tools like our ancestors used, and fired in an open air campfire. I'm thrilled to learn the ways, pair them with modern ways, and see where it takes us!

Paragon Collection

Each pattern is created by hand-carved texture rollers. Some simple, some more complex, but all unique to Firefly Ceramic Arts. Paragon is an example of a particular quality, and these patterns are the first I experimented with when developing my own style, so the name feels fitting.

Daisy Waves

Fleur de Lis

Victorian Hearts

Tiny Dragons

Ranging in size from four-seven inches in length, my tiny dragons feel most at home curled up in a potted plant, dozing the day away on a cozy bookshelf, or keeping their people company nestled on their desks while they work. I've loved dragons as long as I can remember, so these little creatures will likely keep popping up now and then!
