Distinctive Handmade Pottery

Jo Reid
I am a North Seattle Artist creating distinctive pottery! According to my mom, I have been playing with clay (modeling) since I was three years old. I studied painting and drawing during the 1960’s But I fell in love with fired clay in the early 1970s. I studied pottery at Spokane Falls Community College, Gonzaga University and North Seattle Community College. I had an opportunity to study with a Japanese Pottery potter in the 80’s, many of my shapes still reflect his influence. In 2017 I retired from a technology career and opened my own pottery studio and never looked back!
Beginning in 2019 I started exploring the technical limits of the Raku process and developed a unique process that allows me to combine my drawing and clay to capture of what I see and experience living in the beautiful Pacific Northwest.
My studio is located in the Phinney Ridge neighborhood in North Seattle, Washington (USA). My studio is open by appointment any time, contact me via FormedEarthStudio@gmail.com. I would love to meet you.
