Hello, friend!

I’m Jen Meyers—Potter. Artist. Novelist. Dreamer. Knitter. Baker. A creative soul who likes to make things.

Welcome! I’m so happy you’re here.

I’ve had a lifelong love affair with handmade pottery, but didn’t start making my own until my husband gifted me a wheel-throwing pottery class when I was 48. Of COURSE, I fell deeply and irrevocably in love on the first day of class, and immediately started daydreaming about making ALL the things in my own studio someday.

That daydream became a reality, first in a sweet little studio generously hosted in the basement of my neighbor’s picturesque barn, with a worktable handmade for me by another benevolent neighbor. (It takes a village, you know.) In 2022, I moved to my dream property just outside the village of Trumansburg, where a large chicken coop had been converted into a woodworking shop twenty years before. That beautiful (heated and insulated!) space is now my studio. It’s literally a dream come true.

Books and Tea! What I’m reading: Ten Arrows of Iron by Sam Sykes @theworstunicorn. This is book two in the Grave of Empires series (book one is Seven Blades in Black which is where I fell in love with the main character, Sal). Where do I even
This blue, y’all. This is the inside of the summer fields carved bowl (a few posts back), and it wows me every time I look at it. I’m slowly developing a palette of colors I especially love, and blues feature heavily amongst them. This o
The last one of these I made slipped right out of my hands and shattered on the concrete floor when I was glazing it. So this is Take Two. Freshly thrown pouring bowl—it’ll get a big comfortable handle opposite the spout, and will be abo
Don’t mind me, I’m just over here doing some serious product testing. These stemless wine cups work, by the way. Just in case you were wondering. 😂 (They also work great for other beverages, too—alcoholic and non. I’m just sa
I am so in love with this new design, y’all. The inside of the bowl is the beautiful blue you see in the carvings (zoom in to get a good look), and the outside is this magical summer field. Makes me want to go wander through fields and forests
At the end of throwing a pot, if the rim isn’t level, I’ll cut off the top of it by holding a needle tool steady as it slowly cuts through the clay. Hands touching, fingers on the inside to feel when the tool has cut all the way though, a
Pots are currently cooking in the kiln, so I’m in the studio today fussing over Wish mugs, throwing stemless wine cups, trimming mug bodies and putting handles on them. Shop update (finally, I know!) coming in July. Hope y’all are stayi
Hello, friends! I’m Jen, maker of all the things. For new and longtime followers (thank you, by the way! I’m so glad you’re here) here are five things about me: 1. I love this new mug shape so much I want to kiss it. 😘😂 No joke,

My favorite thing to make is mugs, but I make a variety of functional pots like travel mugs, wine cups, tumblers, bowls, yarn bowls, teapots, and vases. I work with beautiful warm brown and rich black clays, leaving some of the clay bare to show off its natural beauty.

My designs come from nature—fields of flowers, dandelions gone to seed, mountains, leaves, thorns, grasses, flames, ferns, willows—as well as geometry, with lines, dots, and hearts. Glazes pool in the carved lines, while the surrounding clay is left butter-smooth and bare. These are the kind of pots that you can’t help but touch, running your fingers along the carved design over and over again because the tactile feel of it is so satisfying.

Each piece is a unique and one-of-a-kind creation. Small batch. Handmade. From my hands to yours.

Besides being a compulsive creator, I’m a total nature nerd and geek out about things like moss, trees, clouds, and bald eagles spotted in the wild (I mean, it’s just so freaking cool to see one!). I love being outside, going for walks, kayaking during the summer on our local lakes, hiking to our local waterfalls. There’s a whole heck of a lot of nature all around, and I am HERE for it.
