About Me

Welcome! I'm glad you're here!

I’m Amanda Ingersoll, the owner, creator, and artist behind Cozy Handmade Creations.

I'm originally from Minnesota and my life as an Air Force spouse has taken me from Alaska and Texas to California and Germany. We now reside in Southern Illinois and gladly call it home.

I first started doing pottery back in 2023 after signing up for my first four week course. I was hooked instantly. And to this day I still do weekly classes honing my skills. Not only did I find my love of pottery in those classes, I found life long friendships with an amazing community of women who are equally passionate about pottery.

Every piece of pottery you see here is handmade by me. Each piece takes about 4-6 weeks from start to finish. It is time consuming and challenging and I love it. I have a special love of fall so you will see a lot of fall themes throughout my work.

Fun fact, I am also a sewist! I have been sewing/stitching for probably 30 years now. My grandma taught me when I was a little girl and it has followed me all through my life. It was my first original outlet to art and self expression. This may make its way onto the online shop someday too.

If you’d like to see new products or how I make some of my items, follow me on Facebook, Instagram, and Tiktok @cozyhandmadecreations. I hope to see you there!
