Katherine Morrissey, Owner, Functional Ceramic Instructor and Artist

Clay has always been a part of my life. My passion started in high school and continued into college. I was fortunate to have some amazing opportunities in college including building and firing gas and wood kilns, raku techniques, and overall an extensive practice in ceramic arts!  I completed a BA in studio arts, concentrating in ceramics/ minoring in printmaking from SUNY Plattsburgh. After college I managed a paint your own pottery studio in Stowe, Vermont. And accompanied a local ceramic artist,  Katherine Washburn. Helping produce her line of custom pet ware. In 2013, I started teaching preschool art. Offering process based art experiences to young minds. It made me recognize how much I truly enjoyed offering the experience to create. Opening a creative studio to the public has always been a dream of mine. Sharing, teaching, and creating with others is what inspires me.

First house pottery started shortly after we bought the house in 2014. The detached garage was a perfect space for my hobby clay studio. Producing functional thrown pottery. Renovation construction started in July 2023. Opening for business in December 2023. The studio had an amazing first year of business. Unfortunately an unexpected attic fire stopped all production in Oct 2024. With a little help from the surrounding community, friends, and family the studio will be back open again. 

The studio is a functional clay space equipped with electric wheels and kilns. Offering stoneware clay. Kiln firing to bisque 06/04 and glazing to cone 6.
