Each piece is individually hand thrown by Amy with loving care in her Pawling studio finished using unique glaze combinations. Amy honors the philosophy and aesthetic style of Wabi-Sabi.  This philosophy and method is centered upon the acceptance of transience and imperfection. Beauty in this style is “imperfect, impermanent and incomplete”. Each piece of pottery by Amy is like no other, unique in inception and design. 
 
The Laotong Cup is inspired by my Lao, "Old Same" who I met in second grade when we both moved to Ridgefield CT. She saw me looking lost and said, "Come on, I'll show you the way." And has been looking out for me ever since.  Like this cup, Lao is graceful and strong.
