Done over 200 art shows and have received recognition from the various newspapers, and featured in a local television news special.

Constance Bretes

Brief Biography

Constance Bretes A big hello and welcome, to Crossroads Pottery and Clay Company website! We're glad you could visit with us and hope you find our site useful for you.

I am co-owner of this business with Jim, my husband. We started this business in July, 2001 and it's been an amazing year for us.

When I met Jim in 1993, I never dreamed that I would be marrying someone who is an artist, and I never dreamed that I would be going with him to do art shows and sell pottery. We had a lot of fun doing it, and consequently, we fell in love and got married in 1995. An amazing thing too is that I never dreamed when I married him that we would eventually go into business for ourselves.

I have an Associates Degree in Business Administration, and I am currently studying for my Bachelor's Degree in Business Administration. I also work full time in Lansing for the State.

Jim and I don't have any children, but Jim does have a son from a previous marriage. We have three cats, and one dog, Simba, Reebok, Katy, and Buckwheat.

My hobbies are reading, playing the piano, bowling, and playing with the "kids". I also have a darling little nephew name Austin Daniel Carpenter, who I just adore and spend as much time as I can with him, and it never seems to be enough.

Well, enough about me, I hope you enjoyed our little chat. Come back and visit us again!
