Living in the World of the Wondrous

Wondrous Crane is a Minnesota based company where the pottery is made to hold wonder. The porcelain vessels offer relief through sensory stimulation and aim to provide at least one blissful moment a day. The name, Wondrous Crane, comes from a place of hope and finding those moments of joy. My grandparents met in a Japanese Internment Camp during WWII. They were both born in the U.S. but, because of their Japanese ancestry, they were ripped away from their homes and families. They were dealt a horrible hand but managed to make a wondrous life together. They always taught me to make the most out of every situation and that is why I choose to make beautiful pottery for people to enjoy everyday.

My mission is to craft handmade vessels that offer relief through sensory stimulation. My pieces are all functional, simple, and open for interpretation. If these items can provide one blissful moment a day, then Wondrous Crane has done its job.
