Like many who love pottery, I became infatuation with the idea of creating sculpture that could be interacted with, held, used and loved. Handmade pottery is not only beautiful, but imbues preciousness into every moment it is used. In a highly manufactured world, wheel throwing is an ancient technique that is still in practice because of it's ability to create functionally practical vessels while still retaining an element of human touch.
This is also a place to learn how to create objects yourself through private or two person lessons.
Bell Hill Pottery is located in Washington, Connecticut.
Welcome to Bell Hill Pottery
I rotate between four kilns. A 29 foot anagama, a converted noborigama, a soda kiln and a coffin kiln. Each produces unique results to the specific firing and pieces are glazes and created with intent because of that. The firing process can take from 9 hours to 10 days depending on how it is being fired which dramatically alters the surfaces of the work.
THE GREENHOUSE
A Home for Artists
Bell Hill Pottery is not only a place to learn and purchase pottery but it is also a place to learn about tea and relax. Students and patrons are invited to enjoy the beauty of the private sub-tropical greenhouse on the property and join us for a cup of tea. Enjoy the camellias, citrus trees, and many other exotic species.
