Hand Made with Love
My studio operates at the intersection of functional pottery and alternative aesthetics. I reject the notion that ceramics must be delicate, floral, or conventional

I'm a North Carolina-based ceramic artist crafting at the intersection of punk aesthetics and functional pottery. My studio is where traditional ceramics meets the unconventional—a place where skulls, mystical cats, and bold designs come to life in clay.
The Artist & Vision
My hands shape clay, but my inspiration comes from tattoo art, counterculture, and the personality of my beloved feline studio assistants. I create pieces that make statements while remaining functional and durable—because edgy shouldn't mean fragile.
Every design emerges from my fascination with the darker side of beauty, transformed into mugs, planters, vases, and home décor that's both striking and useful.
Quality Control: The Feline Department
No piece leaves without approval from Sweet Baby James and Jolene, my cat companions who serve as both inspiration and quality supervisors. Their whiskers, personalities, and occasional paw prints influence many designs—from subtle imprints to full mystical cat-themed collections.
Signature Collections
Memento Mori: Skull mugs, skeleton-adorned pieces celebrating the beauty in mortality
Feline Mystique: Cat whisker vases and designs capturing the enigmatic nature of our feline friends
Tattooed Clay: Ceramics featuring bold, hand-painted designs inspired by traditional tattoo art
Gothic Garden: Planters and vases with dark, nature-inspired motifs
All pieces are handcrafted in my North Carolina studio using high-fire stoneware for durability, with food-safe glazes where applicable.
What’s Up, I’m Holly!
