“I design objects that evoke a sense of connection and comfort, to hold warmth and character, and to be cherished in their daily use.”

Hannah’s grandmother and great aunt were both artists, intertwining their creative passions with their family lives. As a mom herself, her biggest inspiration comes from her children and the beautiful natural world they inhabit on Signal Mountain. Hannah’s work is playful and happy, dotted with vibrant colors and stars. Inspired by her Tennessee surroundings, you’ll find patterns with okra and tomatoes, a brook trout in remarkable detail, olives and lemons.

“For me, ceramics is more than just a craft. It is about creating objects that resonate on a personal level, that enrich daily life and become a beloved presence in people’s homes.”

After studying art at the University of Tennessee in Knoxville and a masters in teaching at Western Carolina University, Hannah honed her skills as a ceramicist through various intensive courses at the Arrowmont Arts and Craft School under Sam Lopez, Yoko Sekino-Bové, and John Britt.
