About

Hi! My name is Rebeca Sweeton (she/her), and I’m the artist and owner behind Spare Pots.  I work in clay and often incorporate hand-painted illustrations into my work.

My pottery is nerdy, whimsical, and doesn’t take itself too seriously. Through my work, I hope to remind people of the joys of simplicity, the enchantment of the everyday, and the value of embracing their inner child.

Rebecca Sweeton was born and raised in Southeast Michigan. After getting her bachelor's (Anthropology-Zoology) and master's (Human-Computer Interaction) degrees from the University of Michigan, she worked as a web and graphic designer for 20 years.

Rebecca started making pottery in 2021. She works out of Yourist Studio in Ann Arbor, Michigan.

When not in the studio, she spends time with her husband Dave, and their cat (Kaladin). She loves reading and watching sci-fi and fantasy, playing board games, and trying new vegan restaurants.
