Catoctin Creek Pottery - Gallery

Handmade pottery inspired by nature, and everyday moments

We also create functional and sculptural ceramics made in small batches near Catoctin Creek.

At Catoctin Creek Pottery, every piece is made by hand, trimmed, glazed, and fired in our studio with care and intention, using traditional wheel-throwing or handbuilding techniques with durable stoneware clay. Our work is inspired by the colors, textures, and rhythms of the Catoctin region, creating pottery meant to be used, loved, and lived with.

Whether functional or sculptural, each piece is made intentionally, embracing the variation and character that come from working with clay by hand. We believe pottery should be used daily, not saved for special occasions.

When you purchase a piece from Catoctin Creek Pottery, you’re supporting handmade work and a thoughtful, small-batch approach to making.
