Who we are

Amber and SJ met in Athens, GA. Amber is a museum registrar and SJ is an ICU travel nurse. In December of 2023, Amber had a sizable infarct (stroke) in her cerebellum. Recovery has been a long journey and she has been using pottery to help recover her coordination and fine motor skills. Amber has been doing ceramics on and off since high school. Having to relearn skills has been challenging, but also rewarding. SJ had dabbled with pottery in the past and was excited to begin sharpening their skills. Together, they made a little home studio and created Violet Muse Pottery.

Outside of pottery, Amber and SJ have a small hobby farm with homesteading dreams. Their garden is small but mighty. They absolutely love animals and have three lovely doggos, a cat, many chickens and many rabbits.
