Welcome to Melody B Pottery
Exciting Opportunities to Come!
I love having fun with my art! My inspiration comes from nature and the seasons of Michigan, and I thrive on inspiring others to express their creative side and to have fun with this artform.

Hoping to open my studio for workshops and activities in the future. Also will be offering take-home ceramic kits to enjoy anywhere.

Lots of exciting events coming up and I'm so thankful for your support along my journey!

My Story
I was first introduced to pottery 40 years ago when I took a ceramic hand-building class in high school. During that school year, I suffered a tragedy of losing my only sister in an automotive accident. I found class to be my happy place and my escape from life. Before the end of the school year, I made a list of everything I would need to have my own pottery studio. I kept that list for many years before I tossed it out due to life getting in the way.
Recently while caring for my elderly WWII Marine vet dad, whom was mostly independent, I decided to take my first wheel throwing class at a local art studio. Three classes later, I signed up for community college level wheel throwing I & II. I was deeply hooked again on pottery! I bought my first kiln and wheel second hand.
I'm a member of International Ceramic Arts Network (ICAN) and subscribe to Ceramics Weekly and Pottery Making Illustrated to keep my skills fresh and unique. I'm loving the journey that clay takes me on! There are so many different directions to choose from which leaves no reason to EVER get bored again.
