I am an artist and a potter! I make ceramics that you can't get from anyone else; in my own unique style. My pottery is functional and decorative. Each piece is formed on my pottery wheel or by hand; then carved, incised, painted, drawn and glazed one by one. I create my pottery in my home studio and fire in my own kiln. Each one goes through several firings. They are each one of a kind! I design and make these myself from wet clay to finished. I never use decals or copy anyone else's work. Thank you for supporting my small handmade shop!

Patty Sheppard Art
I make pottery in my home studio...I have my electric kiln, and a small space to work on my pottery wheel in my basement. There are lots of things going on in my tiny house but I find peace working and listening to the hum of my potter's wheel...My favorite things to make are things I imagine specific people using...like nature lovers sipping coffee from my carved nature-inspired mugs! The basement is nice and cool in the summer so the potter's wheel is a good place to be on a hot day...and in the winter the warmth of the kiln makes the whole house feel cozy...
I love making pottery for daily use, so I put a lot of thought into the forms as well as the surface designs.
