A New Way To Shop My Pottery

January in the Studio: Supporting Local Shops at A Backwoods Farm in Nebraska

January has a way of asking us to slow down—but this year, the studio has been busy in the best way.

The light is softer, the days are colder, and my hands have been full of clay—making pottery to fill orders for local businesses.

These are independent businesses I truly love—places that value craftsmanship, community, and slowing down enough to notice the details. I want to be as committed to these businesses as they have been to me.

A Thoughtful Shift in How You Shop for My Pottery

As I update the A Backwoods Farm website, pottery will no longer be available for direct purchase online. Instead, my work will be sold exclusively through independent Nebraska retailers or available for purchase at my workshops or open houses.

This shift is intentional. It allows me to support local shop owners, keep production small and thoughtful, and encourage people to experience pottery in person—the way it was meant to be seen and held.

Where You Can Find My Pottery

• Antique Anthology — Lincoln, NE
  A curated mix of antiques and modern décor

• Foster’s Mercantile — Elkhorn, NE
  Home décor and furniture

• Fariner Bakery — Ashland, NE
  Bakery, wine, and market

• Chlorophyll_by kg — Omaha, NE
  Plant shop

• During pottery workshops and long-table dinners at the studio

• At a few small open houses throughout the year

• By appointment at the studio — if you’d like to stop by and shop in person, you’re always welcome to reach out and arrange a visit.

  For those local to Louisville, Nebraska—or nearby in Omaha or Lincoln—this means more opportunities to experience the studio, the process, and the pieces firsthand.

  I’m excited to be more intentional about where my work is sold and how it’s shared.

  Thank you for supporting handmade pottery, small businesses, and local makers. It truly means everything.
