Andrea Swift's pottery journey began, first, with being a collector of it 25 years ago. As a collector, Andrea loved that everything she bought was one-of-a-kind. After relocating due to her husband's job, Andrea decided to take an 8-week class at a community studio to pass the time while waiting for math teaching positions to open up. Andrea was instantly hooked and within the year, set up a small home studio in her basement and hasn't looked back since.
