Our Name is Mud Lorrie Veasey, artist, designer and owner of Our Name is Mud, was exposed toceramics at an early age by her mother, apotter. Although her first pot was created atage three, she did not begin selling hercreations until she was forced to supplementher teacher's salary in her early twenties. From1987-1995, she sold her creations at variousstreet fairs and festivals throughout New YorkCity. Veasey's designs are characterized by boldcolors and witty sentiments that reflect hervivacious personality. She considers herself acraftsperson as opposed to an artist, andvalues the functionality of a piece as much asthe surface design. "I make objects that are to be used and enjoyed on a daily basis.When I design my pottery, I am always aware that the piece may become woven into theeveryday fabric of a person's life, or given for an important occasion. It has to be special,unusual, quirky-and feel like it is just PERFECT for yourself or someone you know".
