Emily Pell

Potter / Gardener  

Emily lives in Sophia, NC where she is a resident potter for the Cageless Birds.  Emily is passionate about how the process of throwing clay parallels the process of a becoming a healthy and whole person in Christ.  Throughout the year, she collaborates with Erica Barron to create pottery for the Cageless Birds Store.  Her work is marked by artistic shapes and simple color treatments.  During the 18 Inch Journey, she co-teaches the Pottery Collective where she invites students to embrace learning a challenging craft while finding the Lord in the process.  Emily helps maintain our community garden, where we grow an assortment of heirloom crops as a tool for our students to connect with the nature of Jesus.
