Meet Bookworm Pottery!

“My name is Ashley Merklinger, and I am a ceramic artist based out of Wilmington, North Carolina. I use throwing and hand building techniques to create functional and brightly colored ceramic works meant to brighten people’s homes. I intentionally make my work colorful and inviting to remind others that life is beautiful and its magic is endless, and to encourage people to use a piece made with intention in their daily life to remind them to slow down and truly enjoy it. When I’m not creating, I’m usually reading a new book, having coffee with a good friend, or snuggling my cats.”
