Sheridan Artist a Part of Justin Boots “Just in the Making” program

Christy Rosalez, owner of Punchy Pottery in Sheridan, recently became an artist for Justin Boot Company, “Just in the Making” program.

Some of the mugs she made in collaboration with Justin Boots.

Rosalez talks about how it came about.

The program is a sponsorship initiative which aims to showcase and promote the exceptional work being done by makers who are imaginative and hands-on craftsmen. The company does project videos with the makers, and to help spread the word about their products.

Rosalez talked about how her pottery business started, and why she chose that name.

She said her love of ceramics started in high school. “That’s when I first got my hands on clay.” Then she was out of it for a while and in 2021, her husband surprised her with a little pottery wheel. She said that she started doing some vases and pots and began to get the hang of it again.

Her pottery has a unique western look.

Although she does a few shows, most of her pottery sells online.

Rosalez said she always wanted to be an artist, and the pottery allows her to make a living doing her artwork. Anyone interested in learning more, go to punchypottery.com. She is also on Instagram and Facebook.
