Paige's art and craft

Paige Pride pottery

Welcome to my life as a potter, thanks for stopping by. I throw functional pots for everyday life while simultaneously aiming to bring a truer, handmade quality and simple beauty to our human existence, that which is increasingly less about the human and the handmade.  Check out lots of pottery pics including some in-process and studio as these are integral to the cup we sip from, the casserole we bake in, or the bowl our pets eat from. You can also find my resume, inspirations, and anything else that is related to the final product. I’ll also let you know when and where I’ll be for shows or exhibitions and anything else that’s new!

I currently work with a toasty stoneware, an intentional yet individualized form, and assorted northern landscape inspired glazes and designs. I fire to cone 5/6, about 2200 degrees fahrenheit. All of my pots are food, microwave, dishwasher, and oven safe. I primarily make one a kind pots, however I also enjoy creating a dinner set and treating each piece as a unique and individual while uniting them with hand style and surface design. 

I love to see the progression of a raw material to a functional and beautiful object. It’s important to me to make something that people will literally connect with and use. I believe we tend to speed through life without awareness of what we see, touch, eat, etc. I work directly and steadily in order to produce work for the reason of affordability in conjunction with my belief that handmade objects are about the moment of inspiration and creation rather than measuring, filling a mold, or following a pattern.
