Functional Heirlooms | Summer Collection

Functional Heirlooms | St Paul, MN Wendy Eggerman, of Functional Heirlooms, first fell in love with pottery while attending Warren Wilson College in the mountains of North Carolina. Since then, her work has been exhibited nationally and she has been an active ceramic artist in a variety of studios around the country. Wendy’s pottery is primarily influenced by her love of antiques and the duality of her multi-cultural heritage. Tactility and functionality guide her practical, elegant aesthetic. Her pots are brushed with a terra sigillata finish on the exterior and seasoned with coconut oil. Over time they will acquire a patina and grow more beautiful, visually developing with use, as an heirloom might collect stories through generations. Wendy has a studio at her home in Saint Paul, MN. When not making pottery she can most likely be found at a local brewery, or antique store.
