Good Shepherd pottery overlooks a valley speckled with sheep, in rural Marshfield, Missouri.

Desiree has been teaching art and creating pottery for many years in this rural setting. She formulates and experiments with many glaze recipes to create unique and beautiful food safe glazes. Many times she applies vintage lace to the soft clay to leave an impression of days gone by, or impresses plants from her rural farm.

Pottery allows a person to not only appreciate art, but use it in their daily lives. A hand thrown coffee cup symbolizes a little creativity when brought into a chaotic workplace. Food looks more appealing when presented in a finely crafted dish.

Pottery can enhance your everyday life. "I put much thought and contemplation in each piece. I want my work to bring a sense of joy to the user, as I have enjoyed creating it."
