Matthew Tell Pottery

At Matthew Tell Pottery, we believe in the timeless tradition of the functional vessel, a dialogue with clay that dates back over 6,000 years. Our mission is to create pieces that become part of your everyday life, bringing a touch of artistry and craftsmanship to your daily routines.

Our studio, located in the beautiful Green Mountains of Vermont, serves as our creative sanctuary. Here, we design and craft our stoneware pieces, each one unique and bearing the distinct mark of our artistic style. Inspired by the natural beauty surrounding us, we incorporate earthy tones and suggestive landscapes into our glazes, giving our pieces a distinct character that reflects the environment we call home.

We're passionate about wood firing, a process that adds an element of unpredictability and surprise to each piece. The fire that goes through each vessel in our kiln tells a different story every time, making each piece truly one-of-a-kind. This process aligns with our artistic philosophy of improvisation and letting the process determine the outcome.

Over the years, we've participated in numerous shows and workshops, showcasing our work and sharing our knowledge with others. We believe in the power of community and collaboration, and we're always excited to connect with fellow artists and enthusiasts. Whether you're looking for a unique piece for your home or seeking to learn more about the art of pottery, we invite you to explore our world of functional stoneware.
