Hi, I'm Tonya.

The hands and sarcastic brains behind MallyMoon.

I get a lot of questions about my shop name, so here's the deal...

My shop name is a combination of my daughter's name (Mallory) and going into labor during a full moon.  She was my first, so she got the shop name lol  (maybe I need a collection of works named after my other two kids...)  More on that later :))

​

My family packed up and moved 1200 miles to beautiful Key West, Florida a year ago and it has been amazing!  I am grateful to be surrounded by a wonderful creative community.

​

I am originally from Ohio with degrees in Art and Theatre and completely self-taught in pottery (with the help of my Instagram pottery friends and a lot of trial and error!)  My work is made one at a time using a variety of techniques with some bonus fingerprints and wonky lines.  I typically make my work without a plan and let my creativity be my guide.  I make an eclectic array of work and there will always be something *new* in my stock.
