Jackie Goolsbey
I'm a maker of things, teller of stories, and romanticizer of the everyday. That's how I got to the name Made & Told. I make pottery that becomes part of your routine and holds your story. The mug that feels like home when you visit your parents on Thanksgiving break after the loneliest first semester of college. Just holding it in your hands, feeling the worn-down edges from Sunday afternoon coffee on the porch with your dad. The platter that held hundreds of after school snacks you've prepared for your kids over the years, now is holding you and all of the held back tears and every bit of nostalgia as they move out on their own. I'm in the business of making the lonely feel at home. Handmade to tell your story.
