My name is Paula Johnson, and I live in Elon, NC, but still have ties to my life in Seagrove, NC too. I am obsessed with “The Wizard of Oz”, which inspires my “Potter of Oz” pottery pieces, and everything rainbow. My other inspiration comes from my pets, animals I wish were my pets, and my Mom’s flower garden.
PotteryGrove Gifts is a collection as diverse as the voices in my head. I am happiest when I am creating, but have found it difficult to settle for one medium, because I love it all! I love to sculpt and paint pottery, turn and burn wood, and I love to upcycle fabrics into rugs and quilts. I have recently been learning to weld, upcycling metal scrap, which has been very fun!
Yes, my work table can change from day-to-day, from a sewing machine one day, clay the next, depending on the idea that pops into my head. My husband is a very patient man, and one day my daughter’s eyes will actually roll out of her head. Until then, the loudest voice in my head wins!
