She returned to the family property in the mid 80's to take over the day to day management of the family pottery . She has been managing the pottery, blacksmith shop, and the clay manufacturing end of the business .
She produces about 2000 pieces of high-quality functional and artistic ceramics yearly. She enjoys sharing her knowledge and craft with the public, and recently she expanded the business to include pottery and sculpture classes.
