Tell us about yourself!: I live in South Western, Ohio with my husband and 4 & 3 year old son and daughter. Since my home studio resides out in the country, I get a lot of my color inspirations for decorating my pottery from nature.
How did you get your start on Etsy? Before Etsy, sales had always come easy for me through fairs and shows. But after posting a few items on Etsy to just try it out, I was feeling a little discouraged with all the waiting for just one sale. It took a couple months, but I finally got my first sale after joining a few teams on Etsy.
How did you choose your shop name? I named my business after my biggest inspiration, my daughter Eden. Even though I had been creating pottery before she came along, she is the one I wanted to leave a legacy for. And even at the age of 3, she is already taking an interest in my work.
If you could be anywhere in the world for one day, where would it be? Ravenna, Italy. I've always wanted to go there after studying in school about their churches full of gorgeous mosaics. The country is rich with ancient pottery techniques, culture and food.
What is your favorite Etsy item listing to feature? The pie or casserole plate pictured above.
