Doug Dotson

August 5, 2020

I have been making functional pottery since 1991 and I never tire of making even the simplest cup. From slow moving wheel to application of fluid and silky slips and glazes to a soda firing that always produces surprises, the process provides endless fascination to me. The process culminates in meals with friends and family […]

Marsha Kitkowski

August 5, 2020

All my life I have been drawn to art. My career as a medical illustrator spanned more than 30 years and I loved the intricacy and detail required for my artwork. Since retiring in 2001, I have chosen to express my artistry in clay because it offered the same opportunity for intricacy and detail plus […]

Selden Lamoureux

August 5, 2020

I love to throw. Clay on the wheel feels like silk beneath my hands. Spinning nothing into something, it is as close to working magic as I ever expect to get. My aim is to create a pot that is visually and tactilely welcoming — one that works well and is a joy to hold […]

Janet Resnik

August 5, 2020

Affordable, functional stoneware featuring plates, bowls, mugs, pitchers, platters, bird houses, bird feeders, and small tables with glazes reflecting impressionistic landscape, animal, iris and Christmas designs. All pieces are lead-free, oven and dishwasher safe. My work is inspired by life on our farm where I live with my family and a variety of animals including […]

— Making pots started for me as a way to relax from the stresses of my work as a clinical social worker.  Because the process required both my physical and mental energy, I was able to focus on learning to throw without the distraction of work.  Eventually, I traded psychotherapy for pottery and began taking […]

Mark Hewitt makes exquisite, wheel thrown pottery in a wide range of shapes and prices. Since 1983 he has created traditionally inspired North Carolina salt-glazed and alkaline-glazed mugs, plates and bowls that are a delight to use and enjoy, while his massive garden planters, jars, sentinels and vases decorate a home, office or garden with […]

Lara O’Keefe

August 4, 2020

The process of working with clay is alluring and even magical. I work for the satisfaction that comes from creating a well-balanced pot. It is not easy to achieve harmony between the shape of the pot, the glaze and the inner workings of the kiln, but when a great pot emerges there is nothing more […]

Louise Hobbs

August 4, 2020

2020 has been a time of experimentation into working with glass. It seems a happy thing at a time consumed by Corona. Most recently I’ve been painting glass with the powdered glass enamels I mix myself. There is a whole tradition of this kind of painting, especially faces and hands. Contemporary glass artists explore their […]

Colleen Black Semelka

August 4, 2020

Since the early 1990’s, North Carolina and its rich artistic community has been the crucible of my creativity. Canadian-born, I was raised on the wide open northern prairies and fell in love with clay soon after discovering the medium. I have spent 25 years working with it! I currently make my art in rural Chatham […]

Bronwyn Watson

August 3, 2020

My work in ceramics seems to be constantly evolving and has recently changed from low relief ceramic vignettes to sculptured animal heads.  I like researching the symbolism of a particular animal to find  meaning and context in which to place it. At the same time  I also  make utilitarian items such as dishes and mugs.  I […]

Andi Sobbe

August 3, 2020

I’ve been working in clay since I earned my ceramics badge in Girl Scouts. Although I didn’t pursue life as a full-time artist until my retirement in 2015, I took ceramics classes in college, studied pottery while in the Peace Corps in Korea, joined a pottery coop in Los Angeles and took classes on and […]

Amy Wandless

August 3, 2020

I  enjoy making something useful and attractive using my own two hands. I relish unearthing the hidden potential in a ball of moist clay and guiding its transformation into something beautiful and functional. The subsequent thrill and excitement of sharing the results of my work is a delightful part of making functional pottery. I respect […]

I have been a studio potter for over 50 years, and taught in academia for 35 years.  In 2018, I retired after 24 years running the clay program at Tennessee Technological University’s Appalachian Center for Craft, a satellite campus of TTU and part of the School of Art, Craft, and Design.  My wife Linda (an […]
