Elaine started her pottery journey in 2015 when she took her first class at Purple Sage Pottery Studio in Merrimac and fell in love with the art. She continues to take classes at the studio but has also created her own studio in her home. When she is not making pottery, she is a wife, mother, grandmother, and high school English teacher, who is inspired by the beauty of nature. She enjoys spending time at the lake and the beach with her family, playing games like tennis and pickleball, and reading a good book.
