We are the Houses, Matt and Susan.  We live in far Northern California on the beautiful Pacific coast in the heart of redwood county.  By profession Matt is a forest hydrologist and Susan is a second grade teacher.  We have two children. Lauren ( 20) is studying art at Cal Poly Humboldt. Daniel (18) is studying GIS at Oregon Technical institute.   We have a lot of hobbies including gardening, jogging, fishing (Matt), baking (Susan) and making things.  A avid do-it- yourselfer,  Matt has completed a multitude of home improvement projects and dabbles in wood lathe work and small woodwork projects. Susan got started with wheel thrown ceramics in high school and after a 20-odd year hiatus, rediscovered the art and has been throwing ever since.  Matt is Susan's number one supporter and together have created Susan's very own pottery space to craft wonderful creations.
