“I’m looking to make extraordinary pots for ordinary use, enjoyed daily. My pots are happy, colorful, whimsical and contemporary with a vintage feel. Sturdy and strong, the pots stand up well stacked in cupboards and dish racks. I imagine my work blends my grandmother’s elegant holiday settings with a Walt Disney cartoon where the tableware jumps up and swirls in dance. I’ve been making pots for over forty years and have been lucky to teach workshops in places like Penland School, Haystack School, Harvard, and La Meridiana. My work is in numerous publications and found in a museum collection or two.” – Gay Smith
