My name is Abby Roberts. I create handmade functional pottery inspired by the quiet beauty of nature and the rhythm of everyday life. I first stumbled upon pottery during a difficult time. As I was slowly putting my pieces back together, I signed up for a pottery class just before graduating college. Something about working with the clay - the grounding, the patience, the spinning of the wheel - stayed with me long after that season ended.

After graduation, life moved forward and I didn’t touch clay again for nearly eighteen years.

In 2019, I returned to it - this time not for a class but as a calling. Since then, I’ve built my pottery practice being largely self-taught, learning through experimentation, failure, persistence and a deep love for the craft.

Each piece I make is meant to be used - held in your hands with morning coffee, set on your table for dinner, on the counter with flowers in them, woven quietly into the ordinary beautiful moments that make up this life. My hope is that these pieces feel grounded, simple and enduring - something you’ll reach for again and again.
