Hi there,
I’m Laurie! I'm a ceramic artist. I love to work with my hands to make fun, functional artwork that sparks joy. I’m a new mom to a beautiful little one and I live in the mountains of North Carolina with my husband, son and doggies.
The Process
My work enfolds many different forming methods, from wheel throwing to slipcasting and everything in between. Once a piece is formed, the fun part begins: decorating! Each of my illustrations are carved into the surface with a thin knife and then inlaid so that they pop against the white clay. From there, each piece is hand painted and glazed and fired in my (*mostly) solar-powered electric kiln. Yay, sun!
Let customers speak for us
from 72 reviewsI’ve been admiring Laurie’s mugs for awhile and husband finally got me a big gingerbread mug. It is SO CUTE, well made, cute little gingerbread inside the rim, love the candy cane handle. It’s the best! Shipped quickly and was packed so securely. I’ve used it for almost all my coffees since receiving it.
Constantly astounded my Laurie’s watercolor-esque pottery glazing!! Absolutely HAD to add a Holiday piece to my collection!!
Laurie’s work is always lovely and these ornaments are no exception! They are so adorable and beautiful!
I love my little magnet and dish they make me happy just looking at it them!
I love this ornament so much! The mountains are so beautiful. The size is perfect. It is full of charm and whimsy. I was so excited to give it to a friend for Christmas and she loved it!
Another very interesting and unique mug for our collection. Look forward to morning coffee with a turtle, clown fish, mermaid, unicorn mug!
I have ordered a handful of customizable pieces (as well as other pieces) and love every single one of them. In particular the customizable pieces are amazing -- ones of my family, and my dogs. Laurie is so immensely talented. My dream is to live in a house surrounded by all of her chubby unicorns, chubby narwhals and colorful flowers and rainbows!
I am so excited to have a custom mug from Laurie! Having a piece inspired by some of the most special parts of my life, with Laurie’s artistry, vision, and flair, is a dream come true! Thank you, Laurie!
I was so delighted to open up my wall hanging. It’s just stunning, detailed, precious, to die for! Also it was packed and shipped with such care.
Beautiful and large for a big cup!
Another pair of kiln earrings for another Skutt fan! I love Laurie's work and gifting these little kilns!
I love this mug so much! It’s a true work of art, feels beautiful in the hand, and makes me happy every day. <3
I got this as a gift for my best friend whose dog recently crossed the rainbow bridge and it’s absolutely beautiful. Laurie did an amazing job and I love the personal touches!
I love both the mugs I got, the details are AMAZING! It's not just the main surface design, it's also the added 3D elements on the inside like a pottery rib or a ghost and even the underside of the mug is decorated beautifully. I also got cute ghostie earrings and I love them! Lightweight and really adorable!
