Five Clay Artists

These five clay artists of the In the Making team run the gamut of functional ceramic pieces to art pieces: they play with form, clay body, color and function issues. All are unique, intriguing and delightful.

Jan Fairhurst Pottery

"Each handmade piece of stoneware is thrown on an old kickwheel, but I work hard to create graceful lines on my bakeware, bowls, pitchers and every piece I make."

Janet Mealha of Blue Magpie Design

"I now work in Lagos in the South of PortugaI .I have been making ceramics for many years and more recently started making some jewelry ,using my own porcelain beads and combining them with semi precious stones and other materials. "

Susan Hanft of Gone To Pot (Texas)

"celebrating the imperfect, irregular and not quite right......

all items in gone to pot are handbuilt from porcelain or white stoneware"

Deb Babcock of Blue Sky Pottery

"I am a studio potter who works in porcelain and stoneware creating one of a kind, functional pottery including whimsical teapots and tea cups, bowls, casseroles, plates, tumblers, platters, vases and tiles. "
