​About Tameria:

"I am a potter and instructor living in Boonsboro MD where I create decorative and functional ware fired in wood burning kilns and I experiment with atmospheric effects in electric kilns."
 
Do you collect handmade pottery?
"I have collected handmade pottery for over 40 years resulting in an extensive collection of works from hundreds of my favorite potters."

How did you acquire a Lisa York piece of pottery?
"I acquired an Onion Box from Lisa York at the NCECA Ash & Flash exhibition in Pittsburgh, PA where our work was displayed at Sweetwater Center for the Arts"
Why do you buy handmade pottery?
"My love of handmade pottery is driven by the knowledge of the 'making process.'  I understand how much thought, design, labor, and especially heart and soul goes into creating a work in clay.  The feeling of the spirit of the creator is in every piece that I own.  Some pieces that I have collected are used daily, others are used for inspiration and observed for superior craftsmanship that I can strive for in my own work.  Still other pieces surround me in every room of my home to fill those spaces with the spirit of the Makers.  It seems to me that these pots have breath of their own and fill me with the joy of seeing beautiful handmade work every day."
