Amy Manson Pottery

Owner, Studio Artist, Handbuilding and Workshop Instructor

My passion is working with clay - a soft malleable substance - throwing, forming, and urging it into an object of both beauty and function. An object, which can be admired, touched, held, and used in daily life.  I use mid-range fired stoneware in my work and enjoy glaze colors and themes, which compliment the culinary experience.  It gives me great insight and joy to create a one of a kind piece of artwork. I hope others enjoy viewing and utilizing the pottery as much as I enjoyed making it!

I am an avid cook and have been experimenting this past year with various forms of bake-ware, serving pieces, and other items that enhance the culinary experience. 

 I have been making pieces to become part of your daily life as well as pieces that become part of your traditions and celebrations!  I look forward to sharing my latest functional and decorative creations with you.

Amy Manson has been a studio potter for 20 years, and clay instructor for 15 years. She displays and sells her work throughout the country on the Etsy Handmade Platform and in various galleries, wineries and shops in Virginia, South Carolina, and North Carolina.
