The Making of a Farmhouse Piece

Each Farmhouse piece of Farmhouse pottery is meticulously handcrafted with attention to detail, blending traditional techniques with modern aesthetics to create timeless, functional art.
The Making of a Farmhouse Piece

Wedging & Weighing

Clay is weighed on a dial scale to ensure the correct amount for each piece. Larger pieces are then wedged to remove air before being thrown.
1 / 5

Set up the Wheel

At the start of the day, potters set up their wheel stations by adjusting the pointer to the correct height and width for each piece. They also prepare a bucket of water and arrange the tools needed for shaping their pots.
2 / 5

Throwing the Pot

Once the potter has their clay and setup is complete, it's time to begin! They throw each pot, focusing on centering, pulling the walls, and ensuring consistency throughout the process.
3 / 5

Slow Drying

After a pot is formed, it spends the night in our humidity-controlled damp room. This slow drying process ensures even shrinkage and improves consistency for the next day’s work.
4 / 5

Finishing Work

The next day, after the clay has dried slightly, the piece returns to the wheel for finishing. This can include trimming, handling, stamping, or any other adjustments needed to shape it into its final form before kiln firing.

Our Workshop

At our Woodstock, Vermont studio, our community of artists crafts each piece of pottery entirely by hand. Our wheel-thrown ceramics are designed for daily use and to pass down through generations. This year, we've welcomed five new potters who are currently learning their craft through our apprenticeship program. Visit our flagship studio this weekend to watch pottery making in action and save an extra 10% when you purchase two or more seconds.
