Some of our favorite artists in clay include:

 

Cathy Broski - creates  clay work that is steep in archetypal and personal symbolism.  Figures, houses, boats and pottery are all vessels to contain things we hold dear, and sometimes those things we would cast off  Cathy Broski chooses these forms to work with because they have several levels of meaning she finds intriguing to explore.  Perhaps you will find your own meaning in her creations!
Three Wheel Studios - Dwo Wen Chen lives in New England and says he sees beauty everywhere which is evident in the different variety of work that he makes.  He considers himself an undisciplined artist and clay, a very forgiving medium.  Since he wasn't trained as a potter, he sees no do's and don'ts in his pottery making.  We think Dwo Wen Chen's pottery is beautiful so DO take a peek here and we're sure you'll agree with us!
Ruth Apter of One Hundred Horses - Ruth Apter of One Hundred Horses creates Raku fired ceramic animals inspired by ancient cultures. Each animal is individually shaped, after drying and bisque firing the piece is glazed or stained and low fired until the kiln reaches 1850 degrees.  Then each piece is pulled red-hot from the kiln and finished by smoking it in a container of sawdust and whole oats.
Lisa Muller Studio - Lisa Muller creates cast tile, mosaics and decorative objects at her studio in Pottstown, Pennsylvania.  All of Lisa's work is made from earthenware clay and hand painted with slips, underglazes, and polychrome glazes to yield rich, varied surfaces.  Original designs draw on mythology, history, iconography and common daily rituals to stimulate thought and inspire fresh perspectives on ordinary events.  All tiles are suitable for interi9or and limited exterior installation on walls.  Enjoy them in kitchens, bathrooms and other living areas around the home.
LivingWare   - Pretty Ikebanas and Flower Pillows are built in the traditional method by Evan and Kyanne Livingston.  Ikebana is an ancient art of flower arranging...combining beauty and simplicity...the three stems unite Heaven, Earth and Man.  The Flower Pillows are perfect to fill with water and arrange your favorite small flowers and buds.  You can use remnants from a bouquet, wildflowers, or flowers from your yard.  Small enough to brighten up a window sill, desktop, place setting or special nook.  Some people even put Velcro on the bottom and attach it to their dashboard.
Sandre Griffin - a Sgraffito Artist creates tiles and ornaments of white porcelain that are brushed with black slip (liquid clay) and carved with sgraffito tools.  Images of birds often appear in her work.  They are symbols of flight and freedom, but also reminders of the delicate balance of nature.  Sandre believes that our most important tasks are taking care of Mother Earth and learning to live peacefully with one another.  NEW from Sandre are carved wood (wall mount) squares depicting her favorite illustrations of birds and caring for Mother Earth.
Natalie Blake Studios -  is located in Brattleboro, Vermont.  Rich colors, sculptural lids, and a fluid carving style are all recognizable features of Natalie Blake's pottery.  Her work is at once modern and classical, aqueous and lushly verdant--the visible result of years spent developing her artistic voice through international travel, apprenticeships, and formal training.
Sybil Shane Studio - offers high-fired, handcrafted clay tiles with images by Sybil Shane and Miyu Tamamura.  They are 6" x 6" and felt backed, complete with a wall hanger.  They  are suitable for wall hanging, a table trivet or even an installation.
Edgecomb Potters - is a true china clay, imported from England's White Cliffs of Dover.  Given the density of studio porcelains, their pieces will not chip or crack easily and as you can see in the photos below, their pieces come in an array of fabulous color variations. Crystalline Glazes truly present an artistic challenge of chemistry and nature.  Although difficult to produce, the rewards can great.  Edgecomb Potters produces two types of crystal glazes - MICRO (small) crystal and the MACRO (large) crystal. Glaze crystals spontaneously form and grown in the molten glaze while the pieces are fired in the kiln.  The largest crystals - MACRO - take twenty two hours to develop.  The size and shape of the crystal is controlled through experience and careful attention to the firing cycle.  Although highly decorative, Edgecomb Potters porcelain ceramic pottery is fully functional.
Diana Crain - creates vases that are designed to hang on the wall and hold water for fresh flowers.  They are made of low fire clay and handpainted with colorful underglazes.  Many of the vases can also stand on a shelf, window sill, or mantle.  The wine bottles are made as tiles with a tube on the back for water and must hang on the wall.
Bill Campbell           *His Flambeaux art pottery collection features striking crystalline glazes in warm and cool colors. Bill's hope is that using his pottery will "cause a little celebration in everyday living." *Dishwasher and microwave safe.
