The art of Alaska Panhandle Pottery
Discover the unique essence of Alaska Panhandle Pottery, where craftsmanship meets the Alaskan spirit. Our work is a journey through texture, color, and form, inviting you to experience pottery that truly wants to be touched.
Crafted from earth, inspired by Alaska
At Alaska Panhandle Pottery, we believe that pottery is completely tactile, and wants to be touched. We work with both rich red clay and pristine white clay, allowing us to explore a wide spectrum of artistic expression. Each piece is crafted with intention, designed to bring a sense of connection and beauty into your everyday life.
A spectrum of pieces and glazes
Our collection features multiple types of pieces, from functional to decorative art. We use a variety of glazes, creating captivating finishes that range from earthy and subtle to vibrant and bold. Each glaze is carefully selected to complement the form and function of the pottery, resulting in truly unique creations.
Techniques that tell a story
Our pottery is brought to life through a range of specialized techniques. We employ slip trailing, where liquid clay is applied to create intricate raised designs. Chattering adds unique textural patterns, while sgraffito involves scratching through a surface layer to reveal a different color beneath. We also incorporate decals for precise and detailed imagery, making each piece a testament to artistic innovation and skill. Explore these techniques and more on our Pottery Techniques page.
