Our Pottery

We work daily making dinnerware, lamps, vases, planters, casseroles, “RAKU” pottery and custom designed ware. Our creations are made from natural clay materials, mined in the Midwest region, with lead-free glazes that are microwave, oven safe, and dishwasher safe.

We work on custom, one-of-a-kind projects and special commissions like complete sets of dinnerware as wedding gifts.

Pottery, like many handcrafted items, requires special care. All pottery is dishwasher, oven and microwave safe—as long as special precautions are taken. Never place a cold dish into a hot oven, and please take care your dishwasher is not set at too high a temperature.

With proper care, your pottery should provide you with a lifetime of service. We hope you will enjoy our pots as much as we do!

Handmade and unique

You should be aware that slight variations will occur in the glazing and size and shape of each pot. Although we are extremely careful to make sure that your set is a matched one, slight differences can occur. We appreciate the handmade look of our pots... and hope you will too!

Feel free to drop by...

...the studio and watch us work. We’re located just minutes away from St. Louis, in historic downtown Alton, IL. Stroll through our art gallery, watch the “Mud Team” at work, or take a walk down by the Mississippi riverfront—there’s plenty to see and do so visit us soon.
