It Started With Martha Stewart
After watching an episode of Martha Stewart Living, a ten-year-old Emma dreamed of making the strawberry pots they used in the episode. Literally — she started having dreams about being the artist behind those pots.
That was the beginning. Our mom, Wendy, took on the daunting task of finding a studio willing to take on a ten-year-old. After more than enough rejections, she found Circle Pottery. For Christmas that year, little Emma got her first pottery class and the pottery wheel she still throws on today.
During the Circle Pottery days, both of our parents shuttled Emma an hour down the mountain. They showed their continued support through countless miles, pounds of clay, and hours waiting in the car for class to finish.
