I talked with Nevan who runs her pottery business, @printempspottery in Annapolis, Maryland.
Nevan and her husband make beautiful and functional pieces of pottery. Nevan said her hope is that people get joy out of using a handmade piece of art in their everyday lives. She said she never tires of hearing her customers say they used her mug that morning sipping on their coffee.
One of the biggest takeaways I had with talking to Nevan was how important believing in yourself is with pursuing your passions. She had discouragement from her art professors to pursue pottery and making her own pieces as a career, but tried anyway. Nevan shared how her parents instilled a ‘can do’ and supportive attitude with her at a young age. And her mindset continues to be one of ‘I can do this’ and rather than being flooded with self doubt.
And if you’re in the DMV area go check out Nevan and her husband, Doug’s work at the Eastern Market over the weekends! They will be selling lots of pieces for the upcoming holiday season.
