Announcement
Thanks for stopping by the shop. I hope you enjoy your visit. More of my work can be seen on my Facebook page.
I make things for the joy of being with the clay, not usually setting out to make a particular thing. I let the clay start, and when I can see what can be, I try to finish that thing. A favorite teacher said that to be a good potter you have to make a lot of pots. I am hoping to be a good potter, so I will make a lot of pots. Many pots, and other things too. Hopefully beautiful and functional things that can be enjoyed by others. Thank you for looking at my shop.

5 out of 5 starsThe drinking glass has great colors and feel to it. It is the size capacity that was expected, too. I am displaying the piece in a hutch when not in use, because it is a conversation piece also. The delivery was "spot on" time.

5 out of 5 starsThe shape, thickness, and carving of each of these two cups is perfect for me. I’ve preheated them with hot water, and they’ve kept my espresso nice and hot.

About CarmensClayground
I make things for the joy of being with the clay, making something beautiful from a wet pile of mud.
I was an art major in college - in the 70's. In those days when you went to college for an education - not for a job. After college the need to support myself led me into things other than art. Then early in 2014 I signed up for a class at the Art Center. And so here I am.
I am a student of the art that is pottery. I want to learn all I can about clay, glazes and techniques for making things. Part is by observation and most is by doing and practicing. A favorite teacher once told me that to be a good potter, you have to make a lot of pots. I want to be a good potter, so I will make a lot of pots. Many many pots, and other things too. Hopefully beautiful and functional things that can be enjoyed by others. I enjoy throwing on the wheel, and hand building, I like to carve the clay, and press things into the clay for texture. I only make one at a time, not caring if one looks like the other. Eventually I may be able to make a set of something, but that won't be my goal anytime soon. I just like to play in the clay.
