about lori b pottery
Handcrafted with Care
Welcome to lori b pottery!
Each piece is hand crafted by me with love and attention to detail in my cozy home studio, reflecting the beauty of Napa, CA.
I use high-quality materials to ensure that each pottery piece is not only beautiful, but also functional. I only use commercial glazes that are labeled lead free and food safe.
I work with stoneware and porcelain clays that are fired twice to a temperature that makes the pieces durable and dishwasher and microwave safe.
I am passionate about creating unique, beautiful and functional pottery. I love using different color combinations to create pieces that can be energizing, calming, and inspiring.
I appreciate you visiting my website, and hope you find some things that bring you and your home love and joy!
Elevate your dishes and elevate your life!
I have always appreciated a good mug, dish or bowl. Almost nothing brings me as much pleasure as drinking my morning coffee from a beautiful and comfortable hand made mug, or eating from a hand made dish.
I want everyone to be able to experience the joy of eating and drinking from unique hand made pottery.
And I'd love to customize or personalize something for you! Message me to get more information.
My studio
I created this studio in my two bedroom apartment. It has everything I need...and more, with the exception of a kiln, which I'm planning on purchasing by the end of the year. In the center is my Shimpo pottery wheel, where I make many of my pieces. When I'm not using my wheel I'm creating hand built pieces at my work bench on the right.
I have a collection of almost 100 glazes . Yes, I have a glaze addiction problem! You can see most of my glazes on the shelves to the right of the window. On the left is my drying rack. It insures that the pottery will dry slowly, making is less likely to crack or warp. I love being in my studio!
Meet Frankie
Frankie is my studio cat. She loves hanging out with me in the studio, sitting on her designated chair. I love having her by my side!
