A Little Background

Hey, it's me!

My name is Nancy, I'm the sole creator behind Sad Radish Pottery. Yes, this is a one woman show and I'm incredibly grateful to be able to pursue the things I love.

Nancy grew up in Westport, New York surrounded by forests, ponds, and farm life. Nancy has always been attracted to nature and you could find her sitting in the gardens drawing and painting most days in her youth.

In 2011 she attended SUNY Plattsburgh to pursue her arts education. It was only natural that introduction to clay would be where her heart would go. Being able to express colors, textures, and ideas seemed so natural in this medium and it quickly became her passion.

In 2015 she graduated with her BFA in Ceramics and Printmaking. After graduating she joined a local Community Clay Studio at The Strand Center for the Arts in Plattsburgh, NY, and began teaching adult and youth classes and managing the studio.

Since graduation, Nancy has participated in many local galleries, shows, shops, and events throughout Essex and Clinton County. She also has partnered with local businesses creating branded pottery for their clients and customers.

In 2021 Nancy partnered with 2 local women creatives to create a storefront in downtown Plattsburgh. Workbench Collective was born in December of 2021 featuring artwork and artisan goods from 30+ individuals including her own pottery.

In late 2022 she left her job at The Strand and began making pottery full-time. Check out upcoming Events and Stockists.
