ABOUT
Meet Emily — the creative force behind EQ Pottery, where function meets beauty in every handcrafted piece. A passionate artist and dedicated educator, Emily brings a deep sense of care, patience, and purpose to everything she creates. By day, Emily works as a special education teacher, guiding and empowering students to be defined by their assets, not their deficits. She is also a proud wife and mother; roles that reflect her values in growth and community.

Emily’s pottery is rooted in functionality. Inspired by the idea of ‘Emotional Intelligence’ (EQ), her works are made to be used and loved, while bringing beauty and joy to life’s everyday moments. Her work celebrates the tactile, the personal, and the beautifully imperfect.

Emily recently joined the Willmar Area Arts Council, deepening her commitment to supporting and uplifting the local arts community. She is getting ready to open her own public studio that will feature inclusive pottery classes designed for all ages and ability levels.

Through EQ Pottery, Emily is building more than just ceramics – she’s creating a space where art, accessibility and community come together.
