A Bit About Myself…

Hi! My name is Moira and I am the owner and potter here at The Potter’s Clay. I live in the beautiful state of Maine with my husband of seven years, Jordan, our son Miles and daughter Martha.

I was first introduced to the world of pottery my freshman year of college at Saint Joseph’s College of Maine, where I graduated with a major in Fine Arts and minor in Psychology. I have since opened a small production studio from my home where I am able to continue learning and experimenting with this fine art form.

I wouldn’t be where I am today without my amazing partner Jordan. He is a loan officer for a local Credit Union, a Dungeons and Dragons enthusiast and an amazing dad to our kids.

Our son Miles is six years old and loves music and reading more than anything. He has Down syndrome and has taught us parents all about patience and what it means to love! My role as an advocate for all people with disabilities is a huge part of who I am.

Our daughter Martha is four years old and has enough energy to keep us all on our toes. She adores her big brother and never, ever, stops singing.

Thanks for taking the time to visit my website, and getting to know my family!

Why Pottery?

Because I am bad a painting. I’m kidding. Sort of. I went to college to study Psychology and had to take one art class to fulfill the requirements. I took pottery because I had never used a potters wheel before and thought it would be fun. I was so bad at it. By the end of the semester I had barely progressed at all. But instead of throwing in the towel I decided to take another class in it. I was still so bad, but slightly less incompetent by the end. But I was also obsessed. So I switched my major and never looked back.
