about

Olivia Snow Norman first touched clay in the sweltering garage of her Granny's in Bakersfield, Ca. Little did she know some decade plus later she would be reminded of how much she loved those hot summer days when she needed it most. Taking an introductory wheel course, she found pottery to be the only thing to quiet her thoughts that had become clouded by an obsessive compulsive disorder. She quickly realized pottery needed to be in her life. Born out of love and necessity, Olivia Snow Ceramics aims to create functional and everyday art that is as calming and grounding as the act of throwing makes her feel. She mixes architectural forms and the simplicity of raw clay to create a feeling of uniqueness and comfort. All work is lovingly handmade on the wheel by Olivia Snow Norman hoping to give you a small part of the peace ceramics has given her.
