1. How did Urbana start?
Urbana started in 2006 when I opened my first Etsy shop, www.urbana.etsy.com. I had been making pottery for a while before that though.

2. What type of things do you make?
I make pottery, beaded jewelry and stashbooks.

3. What is your inspiration?
I am originally from New England. I spent six of my adult years in Albuquerque New Mexico where I learned to make clay, fire kilns, and throw porcelain from the fine professors at UNM. Left, for New Hampshire, there I attended the Manchester Institute of Art and Science. I moved to Portland, Oregon and become a ceramic tech for six years and then ran an Art Center for children and adult. for about as long as I could stand sitting at a desk. HA! stand sitting HA! I am currently studying Anthropology at Portland State University.

4. Where can we find your stuff (other than at our market)?
Right now at www.urbana.etsy.com
