Pottery has been a passion of mine since I was a child growing up in Indiana. I began taking classes in elementary school and continued in high school, college, and and as adult. My dream has always been to touch people's souls by my work, to give a sense of joy. Teaching people a new art is a joy I am thankful for. When we moved to Raleigh, NC I found myself away from home to many hours at the art studio and I then asked my husband if I can open a pottery studio. I had prior teaching experience as a teacher/naturalist and I knew pottery. Then Branded Vessels Pottery began. The name comes from my initials backwards, my love for Jesus and the symbol of his being branded for our sins by dying on the cross. Branding is also historically party of ranching and I'm a farm girl at heart. The word Vessels came from pots, pottery, as we are vessels to be used for a purpose.
My hope for you is as you take one of my classes, look at my pottery or buy one for a friend, family member or yourself that you will see a glimpse of God and discover for yourself a sense of His awesomeness. We are looking forward to you coming to visit us here at Branded Vessels Pottery!
I am a chemist, so the chemist part of me comes in handy, as I am the glazemaker. Making glazes is like following a recipe, just with different ingredients and measurements. As you look upon Vanessa's work I hope the glazes really draw you in and makes your soul sing.
