Our Attic
Welcome and thank you for visiting The Pottery Attic!
My name is Sharon and I started making pottery about 4 years ago. Pottery is something I always wanted to try but never had the time, but now as I get close to retiring, this was the perfect time to get on this little journey of mine.
I am a small batch potter from a small town in Maryland – making no more than a few pieces of the same shape and design. A large number of my pieces are hand built instead of on the wheel. Hand building gives me the freedom to be more creative as I explore the world of clay and the endless possibilities to create one-of-a-kind pieces – perfectly ‘imperfect’ functional pieces to enjoy each and every day.

Tried my hand making a small charcuterie tray🧀🧀 not too shabby, but definitely needs improvement.

Counting down the days to retirement!
A bit scary - 40 years in a career that I absolutely loved will be over just like that😔
But…… I am looking forward to doing lots of traveling with my hubby, spending time with family, getting my hands dirty in clay a lot more than I have had time to do until now😊

Love these little press plates from @shalyamarsh - they make adorable little trinket dishes & are perfect for Mother’s Day.

Ready for the kiln - my first 2 mugs using the @finpotterytools mold - plus I added a little texture to one using the @shalyamarsh stencils.

Add a handle & make it a mug or leave as a mini vase?
