Shop Tawny’s Pottery Lab
Pottery Lab is a space where creativity, exploration, and adaptation come together. The name is a nod to two of my past passions: pottery and my beloved Labrador guide dog, Libby. “Lab” isn’t just about the dog—it’s also about experimentation, whether in clay or in life. While my hands used to be deep in the slip and glaze of pottery, my focus has since shifted to empowering others adjust to vision loss.
I still have a few final pieces available in my Etsy shop, but for now, my pottery wheel has been set aside. This site remains a reflection of my journey—where I’ve been, what I’m learning, and where I might go next.
Just as clay responds to pressure and movement, shaping itself into something new, I’ve been reshaping my own path. Libby, my faithful guide, has retired, and my days are now filled with different kinds of problem-solving—helping others navigate the digital world, making technology more accessible, and tackling challenges in a way that still feels a lot like an experiment. Whether it’s testing software for accessibility or figuring out better ways to teach, I bring the same curiosity and hands-on approach that I once used in the pottery studio.
Though the focus of my work has changed, the core of Pottery Lab remains the same: a place to explore, create, and share ideas. Whether you’re here because you’re curious about blindness, interested in the intersection of creativity and problem-solving, or looking for ways to adapt and thrive through life’s transitions, I hope you’ll find something that sparks inspiration. Change is inevitable, but so is the potential to craft something meaningful from it.
