Hi! I'm Olivia, the artist behind OCTceramics. I love to make things and I live in Houston, TX with my husband and two small kids.​ I make small batches of functional ceramics with a modern, clean aesthetic and simple designs meant to delight and brighten any space. 

As an architect by training, I sought out the pottery wheel as an escape from straight lines. In clay I found a welcome retreat into the organic, rounded forms that emerge from a lump of mud. I fell in love with the process of creating ceramics because of the humility it demands and the connection it creates to the earth and the hands that form it.

I create work in my personal studio in a renovated 1920s grocery store in Historic Houston Heights. I also spend some time each week as a Clay Educator for the fabulous community of potters at HTX Clay. You can find me at local Houston craft markets a few times a year (join the email list to be first to know!), or make an appointment to come shop at my studio. You can get in touch any time via email or Instagram or the website form below.
