4 out of 5 starsLovely craftsmanship. The color was disappointing- it is not black at all, description was misleading as it is brown all around. Quick shipping on shop's part. Good size. Just sad it's not black because it was a gift for someone who likes black and red. Also a little bubbling of the glaze on the inner lip making for a rough texture.

5 out of 5 starsAll Tom's designs are simple, clean, and handsome, with an admirable restraint and just enough detail. In this case, the pink (!) block of color around the handle takes it up a notch for daring. Happy to have this mug in my collection.

5 out of 5 starsI bought one mug last year and get constant positive comments from folks. Bought two more as gifts. Love the shape and style - comfortable in the hand, as a coffee cup should be. Wonderful glazes!

The utilitirian pottery of Tom Jaszczak and Maggie Finlayson
Growing up around the wonderful pottery tradition of Minnesota, I grew up going to studio tours and ceramic exhibtions, this is where I gained an appreciation for the humble well made local pots.
Tom's Bio:
Originally from Minnesota, Tom received a BA in Visual Art and a BS in Biology with a minor in Chemistry from Bemidji State University. Tom was an assistant to both Simon Levin and Tara Wilson. He was a summer resident and a long-term resident at the Archie Bray Foundation. In the fall of 2015 Tom began a 3 year residency with his wife Maggie Finlayson at Penland School of Crafts. Tom has received several awards and honors including, a Jerome Projects Grant, Emerging Artist Award at NCECA and Ceramics Monthly, Lincoln and Lil Street Fellowships through the Archie Bray Foundation and in the summer 2014 Tom was an Honored Maker at the Maker’s Faire at the White House in Washington D.C. Tom exhibits his work at several galleries around the nation, this includes exhibitions at the Holter Museum of Art, Greenwich House Pottery, Trax Gallery, The Pottery Show at the Old Church, Northern Clay Center and Leedy Voulkos Art Center.

Frequently asked questions
Can I see the inside or another view of a pot?
Yes. We don't take a lot of photos of an individual piece because every one of our pots needs to be photographed separately. If you need to see another angle before purchasing just message us.
