Growing up, Wendy has fond memories of slipcasting with her mother in their basement, making
things with the scraps of clay, and taking art classes. After studying education at Northeastern
University she started taking continuing education and community clay classes. While her three
children grew, she devoted more time to clay and became a studio assistant. In 2010, the New
Hampshire Potters’ Guild relocated their wood kiln to Deerfield, NH. Helping to build and fire this
new kiln captivated Wendy, creating a desire to learn more about woodfiring. After a few years
of firing at the Guild kiln she took it upon herself to attend a workshop at Arrowmont School of
Craft in TN, and completed two residencies at Watershed Center for Ceramic Arts in ME where
she continues to fire the train kiln two to three times a year. Recently, Wendy has begun firing
with Trevor Youngberg in his Anagama kilns in CT. She loves to travel around the New England
region firing kilns. Enjoying the different effects each kiln, crew, and the wood used have on the
pots. All aspects of the wood fire practice suit her and her work. Finding inspiration from nature
and family, Wendy works in her hometown studio in NH making a combination of simple pots &
pots with lively sgraffito images. When not in the studio you can find Wendy hiking, camping,
kayaking, cooking, canning, or spending time with her family.
