North Carolina Potter, Vanessa Baughman~
Vessels: Each pottery vessel is handcrafted & one of kind. The inspiration of my pottery comes from the many wonders of nature. There's a fascination & mystery of creating a vessel from the basic elements of clay, water & fire. My goal is to create pottery that conveys simplistic beauty, a feeling of balance between delicate & sturdy, decorative & functional. I use techniques of wheel throwing & hand building. The clay is stoneware in colors of browns, white & cream. All glazes are made at our studio. The glazes are lead free & non-toxic. All the pottery is dishwasher, microwave, and oven safe (preheat with oven). I hope you enjoy each piece with its unique aesthetics, feel, and function.
Classes: Our studio is unique in that if offers you the ability to have your very own private studio experience! Our unique classes range from Couple's Pottery & Pottery Parties. Our classes are for those who are wanting to make their own pottery, try something new, to get out and have fun, to increase your skill & knowledge of pottery, or to celebrate any occasion.
