Artist Heather Rousseau creates nature inspired functional stoneware in her home studio to add "a little beach" to everyday living.

Mother of 2, she has a Masters Degree in Marine Biology. Her love for the outdoors, particularly the seashore and its critters, is the inspiration behind every original design.

Honing and perfecting her talents on the potter's wheel since 1998, the self-taught potter introduced her Blue Crab Line to the public in 2005. She continually expands her existing Lines while developing new ones, like the sand dollar and mermaid which she hopes to debut this year. Heather's pots remain thrown, embellished and glazed the old fashioned way - one at a time by hand - making each pot truely unique.

Her pottery is microwave, oven, and dishwasher proof, and safe for food and drink.
