MAKING POTTERY FOR THE HOME AND GARDEN

About this pottery supply

Clay isn’t just for the kitchen. From flower-filled vases on the mantel to sculptural bird feeders nestled in your garden, ceramics can bring warmth, beauty, and purpose to every corner of your home—inside and out.

Sumi von Dassow explores the full potential of clay through inspiring projects that blend function, creativity, and style. Instead of the typical kitchen items in the potter’s repertoire such as bowls, mugs, or teapots, Making Pottery for the Home and Garden focuses on pieces for other rooms in the house (and outdoors!) that are less commonly made by studio potters. Think sinks, fireplace surrounds, bird feeders, planters, and more! Whether you’re crafting a lamp for the living room, or a sink for the bathroom, this beautifully photographed book will fill you with inspiration and ideas.
