Studio S Pottery and Galleries is well-known for handmade finely-crafted artworks of high temperature stoneware, porcelain, raku* and pit-fired* clay often considered  highly representative of Tennessee. Additionally, its architectural terra-cotta is often selected for building exterior restoration, new exteriors, and home design interiors.  

​

Our Studio was once a dairy barn we remodeled inside and out with western red cedar. Now it features a two story arch window which dramatizes the entrance with clay and glass lanterns.  Even, its silo continues to function as work space. 

 

Our Upper and Lower Galleries create a striking display area, having cedar walls and glass blended with textured floors. Behind the potters wheel area, where farm cows were once milked are the hand-building, glazing, and firing facilities; including bisque, raku, pit, electric and gas fire kilns.  

 

We produce all types of unique functional, decorative, sculptural and architectural forms; specializing in commissions, consultations, specialized projects, and design works in metal and clay. We offer and maintain a year-round schedule of adult and youth classes. To view this schedule, please visit our CLASSES section.

​

From scientific theory we formulate and test all of our clay bodies and glazes to meet our artistic and technical requirements. This provides the great variety of finishes available across a wide range of colors. To see the results visit our GALLERY section or come by the studio for a tour of our galleries, teaching facilities, and work-spaces.
