Amber Barnhardt has been making pottery on and off for over twenty years. After having a stroke at the age of 41 in December 2023, she used pottery to help with recovery and decided to turn the occasional hobby into Violet Muse Pottery. The name is inspired by the poet Renée Vivien, known as “The Muse of Violets.” Along with her spouse, SJ Barnhardt, they have built a small home studio and hope to share the healing creativity with all of you. As you use their pieces, may it be a reminder of the simple joys of this short life.
