Hi! I'm Hannah, the artist behind ltl bottega.

A creative at heart, a maker by nature, and usually finding a way to make something in the middle of everything else.

ltl bottega grew out of a love for creating things by hand and finding beauty in the everyday. What started as a creative outlet has grown into a space for me to make art, experiment with new ideas, and share a little creativity with others.

Life is full, often a little chaotic, and rarely quiet. Between motherhood and all the little things that fill up a day, I've learned how important it is to make room for the things that bring you joy. For me, that's creating.

I love the idea that the things we use every day can be a little more special. A favorite coffee mug, a bowl on the kitchen counter, or a piece you reach for without thinking. That's what draws me to functional art: making ordinary objects feel a little less ordinary.

Each piece is made by hand and finished with thoughtful details and hand-painted designs. I love playing with color and pattern, giving every piece its own personality. No two are exactly alike, and that's part of what makes handmade pottery special.

For a long time, I've dreamed of having a little studio of my own. We live in a small home with no extra space to spare, so when we were gifted a shed, I saw the opportunity to turn it into my very own creative space. I'm slowly transforming it into a backyard pottery studio while building a little bottega of my own. There's still so much to make, learn, and figure out, and I'm excited to see where it all goes.

Thanks for being here and making a little room for handmade things in your everyday.
