HANDMADE STONEWARE FROM VERMONT’S NORTHEAST KINGDOM

 

made by hand for daily use

Uphill Pottery is a one-woman ceramics studio in rural Vermont, focusing on handmade, functional wares that are meant to be used every day. As humans we connect with ritual acts like the sharing of food or drink, and the everyday vessels we use can also be works of art that greet you each day.

Pottery is my way of sparking small moments of joy with simple, handmade, functional wares. Each piece is a labor of love, from start to finish. A surprising level of detail goes into even simple pieces, and each has its own character, with perfectly balanced imperfections. 

Handmade goods offer a connection to place, to the maker, and to millennia of craft that endured before the modern era of automation, industry, and instant gratification. Quite simply, they are part of what makes us human.

I made these lidded serving/baking dishes in January as a diversion - in both the senses of something off the planned path and something fun and entertaining. Their process is so different than my usual - it’s slower, messier, super time consum
Latest studio impulse purchase has been oodles of these wooden batik stamps for pressing into clay. What will I make with them? How many do I need? Still figuring that out and 100 🤷🏻‍♀️ . Image description: an assortment of carved wooden stamp
I quietly uploaded remaining inventory to the Etsy shop earlier this week and there are still mugs aplenty. Orders placed before 12/16 will ship by that date for everyone’s best shot at a holiday delivery, though as always I encourage flexibili
