About

What's WHIM all about?

If you know me from my previous studio - Out On A Whim, in Glen Ellyn, you'll find my new studio is a blend of old and new: downsized, but still full of color and charm. I offer fun workshops and classes along with my own, authentic hand-built pieces for you to put your finishing touches on with glaze. I take reservations for parties and get-togethers, plus I invite you to stop in my studio while I'm creating during the week!

Here's what's happening in the studio...

  • hand-building clay classes and workshops for children and adults
  • children's parties - clay or "paint your own pottery"
  • custom-made pottery and custom-painted pottery
  • hand-built pottery for you to paint
  • off-site pottery painting and clay making parties, fundraisers, and team-building events!

How does this work?

Email me or text for photos of current pottery and paint selections.


You'll then be sent a confirmation with payment and pick up information. I'll text you when your bag is ready for pick up. When you're pottery is done being painted, you'll return it to the studio.


Your pottery will be fired, making it outdoor, food & dishwasher safe.


You'll get a text when it's ready for pick up... in about a week.
