Thea Patterson is a native of Colorado who moved to Texas in 2007. A chance encounter at a local art exhibit rekindled her passion for pottery. She now creates her whimsical whistles and animals, along with functional pottery, at her home studio in Fort Worth.

Thea has won numerous prizes at the Texas State Fair for needlework and this year added pottery to the list.

Thea is a member of the Texas Pottery and Sculpture Guild and the LMRA Pottery Studio. Her work may be purchased directly or through her shop at Etsy.com.
