This mug matched the description; still fascinated by the color changes with the light reflections! Love the little arrow pot too. Wasn't sure how to display it, but it quickly was pressed into service as an "ort" receptacle. Cross-stitchers and other needleworkers apply the term to the little scraps of leftover thread. So thanks again, Rachel, for a pretty and useful work of your hands!

This little pot is perfect for all my many tabletop necessities: daily meds, eyedrops, eyeglasses, toothpick case, pen, Stevia packets. My hand comfortably fits inside to pick the need of the moment, even though the vase is relatively small. I'm loving how the colors vary as the light reflects from the surface, often highlighting colors I hadn't noted before. I find its satin glow rather calming. Thanks very much, Rachel!

Arrived quickly, was wrapped carefully with recyclable, natural materials. The cup itself is beautiful and coordinates with a bowl I already have. I've already started using it. 😘☕

Love everything about this piece! Unique and whimsical design, great size, shape, and weight. Gorgeous glaze inside. I really like that the artist added their signature and year on the bottom. Exactly as pictured and described in the listing. Shipped quickly and safely, and included the most thoughtful handwritten note with coupon code. Will be back to buy more.

This beautiful vase has such a lovely, unusual finish, from a satin glow to the icing at the top. I'm debating whether to have a floral arrangement made for it, or to display it on its own merits. Such a nice dilemma! Thank you, Rachel!

The mug is just as pictured for this grandma's hands to cradle a warm cup of honey tea. It invites a little spice- cookie-dipping on this winter's night. I love it! Thank you, Rachel.

This is the newspaper article written about my ceramic journey and my connection with Pottery 101 Gallery.
Pottery goes through many different stages before resulting in the final piece! My favorite part is throwing.
This is my primary workspace. It includes my tool bookcase, wheel, and shelves.
Selling my work at shows and festivals is one of the best parts of the job! I hope to see you there!

About the Artist

My name is Rachel Gunsch, and I am a North Carolina potter. During the pandemic I decided to pursue my passion for ceramics as a professional endeavor and have now owned my own business, SunRay Pottery for over a year. The primary focus of my work is functionality. Each piece is made with its specific purpose in mind. I have multiple styles of work that I oscillate between to help stimulate my creativity and passion for what I make. All of my work is fired in an electric kiln at a mid-range temperature and my glazes tend to be cheerful cool-tone colors. It is my hope that these pots will be put to regular use and bring joy to moments that are often overlooked.

Owner, Maker

I create functional ceramics that are intended to reveal the beauty in everyday objects and moments. I hope my work will encourage those who use it to be present and aware of their experience with the piece.
