Hi, I’m Allison
When I’m not chasing dogs, or kids, you can find me making pottery in my make-shift garage studio in Venice, CA. Sometimes I’m writing, sometimes I’m making stuff, but I’m always singing along to musicians I know so well, they feel like friends.
All of the things that come out of my studio are a product of my curiosity and just always wanting to make stuff. I’m the girl that scavenges for stuff on hikes or at the beach and says, “I can do something with this”, or who sees things I think are cool or beautiful and says, “I could make that” and then does.
I didn’t start my professional life making pots, I began by making reality tv! But parenthood can change the way you look at the world; it’s like someone wipes off a smudgy camera lens and you can see life in much broader distances. Sometimes this triggers positive change, sometimes it' triggers a near mental breakdown. I got to experience both because I guess I’m just lucky like that.
Every part of my life that I’m building, just like all the pieces I’m making are the product of my curious stumbling. Life is fucking hard, you guys. But it’s also great if you love yourself enough to pick yourself back up, bandage your bloody knees (ego) and just keep pushing in the direction your gut tells you to.
