Tricia Woodland has been studying pottery informally since 2003. She mixes her creative style with traditional pottery forms. Tricia is originally from Annapolis , Maryland and you can often see the incorporation of her love for the Chesapeake Bay in many of her creations. She uses texture in most of her pottery and is constantly looking for new ideas and shapes to get inspiration from.

Many of Tricia's designs come from simple household items, extra parts in the bottom of a tool box and random weeds and such found in the backyard. She enjoys finding good homes for her frogs and fish that she throws on the wheel.

Tricia spends at least 40 of the hours she's not potting, working for Lutheran Family Services managing foster care in Gaston, Cleveland and Lincoln counties. She calls Cherryville home.
