About

A few years ago Mike and Morgan decided to take a pottery class together as a way to get out of the house and have some fun. What evolved was a creative partnership that enhanced their lives in ways they didn't expect.

Em and Mike

Mike

Building

Mike is learning to think of himself as a creative person. He loves clean, simple shapes and smooth geometric lines, within those parameters he finds a world of possibilities.

Morgan

Sgraffito & surface

Morgan grew up in the Sonoran desert outside Tucson AZ. True to her Gen X experience, she spent her childhood running around in the desert, unsupervised except by saguaros, coyotes and an occasional gila monster or two. Now she enjoys connecting people with her desert experience, hoping they will see it the way she does, with delight, humor and love.
