5 out of 5 starsI love my mustached, monocle mug! Makes me so happy every time I see it. And I really appreciate that it is dishwasher and microwave safe — it’s the little things.

5 out of 5 starsI have bought many pottery pieces over the years from Nelson Studio. A friend and I both use shot glasses to make cocktails. I bought this one as a gift. Very sturdy.

5 out of 5 starsI have been buying Nelso Studio pottery for many years. We have bowls, mugs, and goblets and have given pieces as gifts. The goblets feel substantial in your hand. Everything has held up well through years of use and washing.

5 out of 5 starsThis is my second mug from this shop, I bought it because my first mug is my favorite and I’m constantly pulling it out of the dishwasher, so I obviously needed a second one for a proper rotation! Duh. Plus this mug happens to look A LOT like my brindle mastiff pitty fur baby. I love these mugs for so many reasons. 1. They are clearly well made with love. 2. They make me smile. 3. They are big enough for 12oz of coffee, an unhealthy amount of cream and foam on top! And even after all that there’s enough space left that I can walk my beverage to the living room or wherever without paranoia of spillage. 4. They all come with an epic background story outlining the personality of the mug. They are always hilarious and adorable. I think the bio w this mug was insanely spot on with my dog’s personality making it even more epic.

The process from start to finish.
If we can add a laugh or a cheerful moment to someone's day, then we feel pretty good about that.
Chad's love for pottery began in his high school ceramics class many (but not so many!) years ago. He later earned a degree in Fine Arts with a focus in Pottery from Auburn University. Not wan ting to be a family of starving artists, Meghan earned her degree in Business. They combined their talents - and also lived in a meat cooler for a little while, but that's a different story - and opened Nelson Studio in 2008. They now sell their pottery throughout the United States and worldwide.
One day, while potterizing, as he calls it, Chad decided that if he could create something that would help people smile a little every day, it would be worth making. This idea sparked the birth of Ug Chugs and transformed. Chad into 'that guy with the crazy face pottery'.
So, here we are, making pottery, raising two kids, and definitely not living in a meat cooler any more (although, it did smell enticingly like smoked ham). No matter how busy we are, we still put quite a bit of care into each piece we create, from personally making every eye, tooth, and lip to hand-glazing each item. We love creating our work, and we hope you love using it!
