Leigh Anne Thompson

 I am a full time potter specializing in functional stoneware pottery. My pieces are 100% handmade because I believe in the magical experience that comes from using handmade items in your daily life. I hand throw the pots, pull the handles, attach the spouts, carve and sculpt the clay, make the glazes, and fire the kilns. Love, creativity, and beauty are put into each piece of pottery and will bring bit of joy into your life.  My pottery is made for daily use. I make it to be integrated in to your daily routine for a joyful feeling throughout your meals.

My work is inspired by life and the need for beauty. I find inspiration in the natural world as well how people interact and fit into it. I am not trying to reinvent the wheel, just trying to make it beautiful. Life is too short to surround yourself with average. Your home should be filled with things that make you smile. From a simple cup of coffee to a holiday banquet, food just tastes better with pottery that is hand made.
