Future Archaeological Relics

In 1982 Redstone Pottery was founded by my father Robert Nothhouse. He had no technical training in ceramics, no degree from a fancy university. After a weekend course in ceramics, he decided to dedicate his time to developing his craft. He designed his own wheel, slab roller and pug mill from spare parts that he picked up at a junkyard. He tediously worked to design and perfect the signature glazes for which he would become recognized. Robert also mined and processed all of the clay from his home in the one-hundred-and-two river valley in Savannah, MO. For 30 years he traveled throughout the midwest selling his beautiful art to support his family at art and craft festivals.

I was born in 1984, the day after my birth, my Dad was at an artshow. As a young girl growing up in Missouri, it seemed only natural to be surrounded by large amounts of clay. I would come out to visit my dad's workshop and squish clay around in my hands. I loved making fun "sculptures" that my dad was sweet enough to fire for me. Clay was always a part of my life.I grew up traveling with my family to artshows and festivals on the weekends. This is what everyone's family life is like, right? It was an incredible way to grow up! It taught me so many valuable lessons about hard work, determination, and as my dad always called it "character building"
Little did i know that i would one day return home to study ceramics with my Dad. I am so incredibly grateful to have had the opportunity to learn from him. He taught me how to throw on the wheel, process clay, and most importantly how to create his 6 one of a kind glazes. In a world where so little is truly created by hand. It feels wonderful to be connected to my craft from "cradle to grave" Each piece is made with love, knowing that my dad's creativity and passion will live on.

    I love creating things by hand and i LOVE people who love my creations. I am grateful to carry on my father's pottery traditions. When I'm not throwing pots like a mad woman, you can find me on the dance floor, strumming a ukulele or sawing a fiddle.

Frequently asked questions
Custom and personalized orders

I love Custom orders, depending on the time of year, it takes 2-4weeks to complete. I only use my handmade glazes. No custom glaze requests.

Sizing details

The size for all items can be found in the item description. As these are all handmade, the sizes will vary around 1/4-1/2 inch. Isn't that the joy of a human created wonder? :D

Care instructions

All items are Microwave, Dishwasher, and Oven Safe. Except the magnets, don't do any of those things to a magnet.

My ceramics are meant for the long haul of daily use, don't be scared to use them. They can take it!

Wholesale availability

I'm happy to wholesale. My wholesale discount is 30% off my retail prices. My minimum order is $1000.00 USD. Buyer pays shipping.

Gift wrapping and packaging

I do my best to always use eco friendly packaging. If you receive something in non-eco packaging, it is me re using andrecycling, I hope you'll do the same!
