Dashing Ceramics Creator

Before I created Dashing Ceramics, I was “organizing” my kitchen supplies by stacking bags and boxes on top of each other, not exactly sure where everything went which is not great for a small space. My dogs kept literally eating their plastic dog bowls and breaking the water bowl that they share.

Then one day a friend of mine called me up and asked if I could make them a sourdough crock.  She wanted something custom that would look great in her kitchen and fit in the fridge when she was out of town.  She came over and watched me create this piece for her and became the inspiration for my first product line.  She told me about how important keeping her kitchen clean and organized was.  Since I live in a very small house, I could definitely relate. 
I was concerned about charging too much for my pottery because of the quality and care that goes into making them but once I saw how much people loved to personalize and organize their kitchens, and how my pottery held up, I knew that I was headed in the right direction.

So then…

I set out to create the most beautiful, personalized pottery for the most successful families in the world.

It turns out…

The road was more difficult than I imagined.

Finding suppliers in my small town turned out to be a challenge. I tried buying online but ran into quality issues each time that I bought, which led to many days ready to scream.

After being frustrated…

with my clay order again, and having my big kiln (Gustav) break down so that I was unable to fire anything, I went out in search of a supplier and kiln repairman. Finally, I found a local shop that could supply my needs and finally had quality clay and glazes–and people–to work with.

After everything…

We released our first real product line and the response has been phenomenal.
