About PotShop
Handcrafted ceramics made with love since 2011
Our Story
PotShop was born in a small studio in Portland, Oregon, where co-founders Clara Ashworth and Marcus Thiele spent weekends throwing pots and dreaming of sharing their work with the world. What started as a hobby quickly became a calling.
In 2011 they opened their first kiln room above a flower shop on Burnside Street. Word spread quickly — their signature earthy glazes and satisfying weight attracted a loyal following of chefs, coffee lovers, and home decorators alike.
Today PotShop works with a collective of eight independent ceramic artists across the Pacific Northwest, each bringing their own style while staying true to the handmade ethos that started it all.
What We Believe
Handmade Always
Every piece is shaped, trimmed, glazed and fired by hand. No molds, no mass production — just skilled hands and honest clay.
Sustainably Sourced
We source our stoneware clay from a family-run quarry in Montana and use lead-free, food-safe glazes with natural mineral pigments.
Community First
5% of every sale goes toward ceramic arts scholarships for under-resourced youth in Oregon and Washington.
