Hi y’all, I’m Bailey. I’m a ceramicist from East Tennessee who creates illustrated, functional pottery. After studying sustainability at the University of Tennessee, I felt drawn to merging illustration techniques with warm earth tones on wheel-thrown forms to create pieces inspired by Appalachian flora and fauna. My art education has been formed through craft school work-exchanges, community classes, and hours spent practicing in the community studios of Mighty Mud. I hope to pursue pottery full-time in the future. In the meantime, when I’m not hopping around the craft schools, you can find me selling wares at markets and teaching classes around Knoxville.
