A Life of Craft, Centered in Clay

For over 30 years, my husband and I have shared a hands-on, creative life, shaping wood, restoring antiques, sculpting whimsical metalwork, and breathing new life into forgotten things. Together, we built a world of making, driven by curiosity, resourcefulness, and joy.

That journey led me back to clay. Pottery has become my deepest passion, a return to the earth, to stillness, and to self. It grounds me in the moment, allowing form and texture to emerge slowly, thoughtfully, through my hands.

While our shared creative pursuits still shape who I am, this space is now dedicated to my ceramic work. Each piece I create reflects years of making and learning rooted in experience, shaped by love, and inspired by the imperfect yet perfect beauty of nature.

Welcome to Alania Crafts. I’m so glad you’re here.
