Pork Pond Pottery was established in 2021.
I’m Amy, the maker behind
Pork Pond Pottery.

Based in Minnesota, I create small-batch functional pottery and sculptural pieces inspired by nature, my surroundings, and the people in my life. I love creating pottery that feels good in your hands, brings a little beauty and personality to everyday moments, and becomes part of your daily life.But my love of clay goes beyond the pieces I create. Through beginner-friendly pottery workshops, I now have the opportunity to share that experience with others. Whether you're trying pottery for the first time or simply looking for a fun, creative way to spend a few hours, my workshops offer a welcoming space to explore, create, and make something uniquely yours.For me, pottery is about more than clay. It's about creativity, connection, and the joy of making something by hand.
