New! The Lumps of Clay Studios Support Page is LIVE!

I'm thrilled—and a little nervous—to announce that the dedicated support and donation page is now officially live on the Lumps of Clay Studios website!

This is something I’ve wanted to do for a while, and honestly, it feels like a big step to finally put it out there. I never truly expect anything to come in, but as the saying goes, if I don't put myself out there, opportunity isn't just going to land on my doorstep.

Why a Donation Page?

I know many of you follow my work and have asked how you can support the studio even if you live far away, or if you simply don't have space for a new piece right now. This page is for you!

Your support, however big or small, isn't about padding a profit margin. It’s about keeping the clay wet and the kiln firing. Donations go directly back to the studio to cover the true costs of purchasing clay, glazes, and essential materials—all the stuff that keeps this creative engine running and helps keep the art alive.

Supporting the Art—and Giving Back

Beyond materials, your generosity helps with something I truly value: supporting my community. I often donate pieces to various local events and fundraisers I attend, because I believe in giving back. While my main focus for those events is always to raise money for their specific cause, your support here helps cover the material costs of those donated items, making it easier for me to continue contributing.

So, here goes nothing! If you've ever wanted a way to contribute to the creative process without buying a finished piece, you can now visit the Donate page.

Every single bit of support means the world to me. Thank you for believing in Lumps of Clay Studios.
