I’d like to welcome you to Marked Departure Pottery. Marked Departure Pottery is the realization of a long-deferred dream, both personally and professionally.  On the personal side, Marked Departure represents my long-dreamt-for return to the Pacific Northwest, after an absence of almost a decade.  Professionally, my work is a departure from the ordinary, in both the forms created and the techniques used. Please enjoy your visit. I hope you enjoy Marked Departure as much as I do and thank for your interest.  - Mel Perrigo
