Patty is a lifelong resident of the Jamestown area who brings creativity, humor, and heart to everything she does—both in and out of the studio. When she isn’t working with clay, she enjoys traveling (especially cruising), beach glass hunting, visiting antique shops, and exploring local wineries with her husband and four cats.
Her classes at Pearl City Clay House are designed to be fun, inclusive, and stress-free, offering a supportive space where everyone can relax, create, and connect. Patty loves fostering positive energy in her sessions and seeing students leave with smiles—and sometimes a little extra glaze on their hands. As a maker, she draws inspiration from nature and often incorporates textile elements into her pottery as a tribute to generations of creative women in her family.
