My Story

Jack or Maple enjoying autumn leaves

Jack & Maple Co. is named after my two beloved dogs, Jack and Maple. Within a single year I said goodbye to both companions. Their loss shook my world, but it also reminded me of the healing power of creative work. Returning to pottery — a craft I had practiced for four years but set aside for a decade — provided space for reflection, comfort, and connection.

My pieces carry echoes of memories: the warmth of a wagging tail, autumn hikes through crunchy leaves, and the quiet companionship of a friend at my side. Each mug, bowl, or vase is shaped with care and purpose — a celebration of life’s fragility and endurance. I work in small batches, allowing the clay’s natural personality to shine through. Textures, earthy tones, and unique glazes define my style, each piece telling its own story.

Whether you’re seeking a functional object or a special keepsake, I hope my pottery brings comfort and joy into your space. Thank you for supporting a small business built on love, memories, and artistry.
