Putting the “fun” in functional pottery
Yeah, that was corny.
But we try not to take ourselves too seriously, and that includes our work.
“We” are Taylor, Sophie, our wheel (Judy), our kiln (Charlotte), and our feline studio supervisors: Wipper and Buster.
Taylor started pottery lessons back in 2018, and was soon hooked. They bought their own wheel and kiln and set up shop in the basement shortly after. They started selling pots when their kitchen cupboards overflowed with joyful experimentation. Taylor loves form and surface decoration, using sgraffito and underglazes to create mugs, vases, bowls, planters, and many other functional pieces.
Sophie threw her first pots on Taylor’s wheel in 2019. She’s been passionately working on glaze combinations ever since. Sophie started selling her work at Backyard Kiln’s farmers market booth in 2021, and you’ll see some pieces from her here, as well as collaborations between her and Taylor. If you see a real big mug, that's probably hers.
One of our core values as a hobby/business is to allow more people access to quality handmade ceramics. That's why you might see prices that are lower than some other artists. We have the luxury of non-pottery income, and try to keep prices down, including using recycled shipping materials and Pirate ship (a discount shipping purchaser), so that your costs remain as low as possible.
Welcome to our space, we hope you enjoy your visit!
