Eight years ago we sold everything and bought a sailboat in the south pacific, Fiji. We have lived aboard Pogeyan full time for the last 8 years. I didn't want to do it, but I love diving and told my husband I would go if there was a dive compressor on board, so we would be a live aboard dive boat. Well, he got a boat with a compressor. And I have loved every minute! We spend the cyclone season in NZ which is so beautiful. After covid, I discovered a pottery studio 3 minutes from our dock. I immediately joined and now I make pottery for the 6 months/year that we are in NZ. When it is not cyclone season we sail to Minerva reefs, Tonga and/or Fiji. If you also love underwater life and would like to see oceanic mantas, whales, nudi, fish, jellyfish, octopus etc. I post photos and videos on FB and IG. Unfortunately, we are in the process of selling our boat. Our money ran out and we will return to the USA and work again :( Soooo sad. But, for now I will still enjoy the ocean life. I am a huge animal lover, especially dogs! I forgot to mention that my favorite thing to make is mugs with people's pets on them! And any ocean themed work, mugs, mantas, whales, etc.. I have a separate IG account for my pottery and only post the dog mugs because that is what I will be promoting and trying to go when I go back to the USA. I have been doing pottery half a year for the last 3 years. I still feel like a beginner and am struggling to learn the wheel. When I get back to the USA I want to have a studio! https://www.facebook.com/michelle.siebertmarshall https://www.instagram.com/siebertmarshall/ https://www.instagram.com/mutt_muggz/

I am Louise. I live on the Pacific Ocean in Long Beach Washington in the US. I have been doing ceramics for a little over two years. Learning to throw on the wheel. We also bought a kiln and set up a studio at our house this year. I am looking forward to sharing my journey with you.

Hi everyone! My name is Suza. I’ve been doing pottery at home in my guest room for about two years now. I’m a mom of two wonderful boys, love to travel and I also run a little gym here in my hometown, Magdeburg, Germany. I’m really excited to start this community to connect with fellow hobby potters from around the world. 🗺️ I’d love for all of you to join in, share your glaze combos, talk about your current projects, your wins, your fails, and just learn from each other. So, welcome to “Pottery Moms“ 🔥 Feel free to introduce yourself and maybe share a photo of your favorite piece in your own little introduction. That would be wonderful!
