Our goal is two-fold: to provide a supportive environment for ceramic students and artists, and to foster awareness and appreciation of contemporary functional ceramics within the Greater Kansas City Community and beyond.

Smyth Studios
George Smyth has been producing pots with these big blown out crystals for many years. I don't think he has ever thrown a bad form and his work just keeps getting better and better.

John Tilton Porcelain Art Pottery
Nice website and very cool pots.
What I'm striving for is that kind of perfection that makes my pots seem BORN, not made or contrived; an organic quality that comes from attunement rather than merely expertise.

Robert Hessler Pottery
“As a potter, I often wonder why I do what I do. I believe, to question one’s life choices and to listen for and discover the answers, empowers one with conviction and clarity and is, indeed, a good practice for anyone. So, after much questioning and soul searching, I realized that my only answer is because it makes me happy and, therefore, living my life as a potter equates to living a happy life! I can’t imagine a better reason to be, and stay motivated.

Kurt Wild Pottery
"From my beginning as an undergraduate I have enjoyed working with clay. I continue to do so for the simple reason that it gives me pleasure. But more specifically, I enjoy decoration and decorating. I guess it's safe to say I make pots primarily to decorate. It follows then that I hope others will take pleasure in the viewing or the decorative use of my work as well as actually using them in a utilitarian manner." Kurt Wild

Cuzick Pottery, David and Mary Cuzick and Ed Thompson
I am a full-time potter. I started working with clay in 1972. I use porcelain clay that I purchase and I make my own stoneware clay at my studio. I do both functional and art pottery. The ware is fired in one of two up-draft gas kilns, an Olsen 36 and a Halversen 48. The pieces are fired to cone 10-11 (about 2380 degrees Fahrenheit) in a reduction atmosphere. This high temperature gas firing brings out the rich copper reds and saturated blues in the porcelain glazes.
