About Heidi Petersen Ceramics
Heidi Petersen is a skilled potter based in the heart of San Luis Obispo County (SLO CAL) since 2005. With a focus on tableware, she understands the value of creating a remarkable setting.
"I originally had a career in agriculture and work a lot with the soil. I was also in the Peace Corps in a desert country. I was influenced a lot by the colors of the sand and the soil, just the reds and browns. All my work has some bare clay showing on it, the juxtaposition of the lovely glazes with the rich earthiness of the brown clay. That line between my love of the soil and the pieces itself just make me really makes me happy."
Heidi has been fortunate to collaborate with several local restaurants, including Fish Gaucho, Momotaro Ramen, Park 1039, Paso Robles Wine Merchant, Cass House, and Blue Heron. These establishments appreciate the artistry of food and have sought Heidi's custom tableware to complement their unique menus. All of them are highly recommended culinary destinations.
"We have this huge wine industry and food industry. My passion is the pottery and we can bring our passions together by mixing the pottery with their beautiful food and their beautiful wine. It's a synergism that is really exciting to be a part of."
To view and purchase Heidi Petersen Ceramics' recent creations, her shop, TABLE, is the ideal destination.
