WagonerPottery

Chuck and Sue Wagoner, located in scenic Bridgeton Indiana, have been making beautiful pottery for more than 30 years. They are proud to produce functional, high fired stoneware that is made to be used in the oven, microwave, and dishwasher. When carefully fired to 2200 degrees and cooled slowly, high fire ceramic is one of the hardest and most impervious materials known to man.

Chuck and Sue met while in art school. Sue was attending Herron Art School in Indianapolis while Chuck was studying ceramics at Indiana State University in Terre Haute. After graduating from Indiana State University, Chuck worked for four years at the pottery shop before accepting a teaching position at North Vermillion Jr/Sr High School as the art teacher. Over the years, he has attended Ball State University, Indiana University, the University of Wisconsin, and Indiana State University to study ceramics. He recently completed his Master’s in Art at Indiana State University where he worked under Richard Hay. Early on, Chuck was lucky to meet the Peeler’s who were wonderful potters and artists. They helped him, and they were the ones that told a former Billie Creek manager about the Wagoners when the village was looking for a potter.

Chuck and Sue’s pottery is meant to be unique and functional no matter the size or shape. It truly is made to be used in everyday life. The Wagoners look forward to demonstrating the process of making functional stoneware on the potter’s wheel and showing you their finished wares.
