Announcement
I love making pottery, tiles and ceramics for everyday use! I'm an artist, potter, painter... I form each piece on my pottery wheel and by hand; then carve, incise, paint, draw and glaze them one by one. I create objects that you can't get from anyone else; in my own unique style. Each piece is one of a kind. I am not accepting custom orders at this time.

***About shipping prices: US Postal Service requires that parcels over 1 pound must be mailed at the "Priority Mail" rate. I've set USPS calculated shipping. My pottery is usually 1 lb + when boxed. The priority rates are set by weight and zone in relation to St. Louis MO; from where I ship. If you spend enough to get "free shipping", I still pay for it; and more items cost me more to ship. I don't add in handling fees.

Patty Sheppard Art
I have a Bachelor and Masters Degree in Fine Arts.
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.

Frequently asked questions
Custom and personalized orders
Message me for custom or personalized orders. I can give you the approximate time frame that I can have it ready. Usually custom orders take about 4-6 weeks.
Care instructions
I use only food safe/ lead-free glazes. Hand washing is preferred, although most of my stoneware pottery is fine for the dishwasher and microwave. Exceptions: Do NOT microwave anything with silver or gold lustre! Hand wash all earthenware/terracotta pottery.
Gift wrapping and packaging
I am happy to provide simple gift wrapping (usually brown wrapping and a curly ribbon!) and a small note card if you message me at purchase! I use recycled materials and bubble wrap to securely package items for USPS shipping.
Sizing details
Please see individual listings for size and quantity that the item will hold. Sizes are approximate. I measure each piece individually, but it is approximated to the nearest ounce, inch, or half inch. Message me if you have questions!
