About The Potter
About The Potter
REBEKAH TARBERT IRWIN
My journey began during my high school years, when a remarkable ceramics teacher recognized my passion and nurtured it with exceptional skill, as all great educators do. Following high school, I pursued a Bachelor’s degree in Exercise Science, specializing in Gerontology. This led me to venture into a Master’s program in Clinical Exercise Physiology, which became my chosen professional path where I worked in a local hospital in the cardiac rehab unit, both inpatient and outpatient.
After welcoming my four children into the world, I reignited the creative flame that had always burned within me. It was in 2019 that The Velveteen Artisan (now Velveteen Pottery) came to life, as I embraced the medium of clay once again. Little did I know that God, in His wisdom, had a grand plan in store. Eight months later, I unexpectedly became a widow, and during that challenging time, He provided me with the opportunity to work from home and raise my children.
But God had another beautiful plan that I had fervently prayed for. I crossed paths with my now husband, a man who loves not only me but also my children and my business. He became the best friend that God knew I needed, and in 2022, we got marriage, eagerly anticipating a life intertwined together.
