This is an update (a long overdue update) to a previous post about clay blogs. When I first wrote about blogs that focused on ceramics, there weren’t too many out there. I am so happy to find this time around that there are a lot more now! I didn’t include ones that I listed before. And these are in no particular order. Enjoy- and please let me know if there are more out there for the next time around!
one black bird by Diana Fayt
A wonderful blog that I just discovered. (I don’t know how I’ve missed it all this time!) Great posts by Diana and guest bloggers. It’s been a lot of fun reading through the archives.
Great photos of Ron’s work in progress. I love the how-to posts as well as the studio updates.
The Pottery Blog by Jennifer Mecca
Jennifer writes about her day to day life in her studio, balancing her family life with her clay life. This is why blogs are great- you can share your personal experience in a way that you can’t through a book or a more formal publication.
“Seeking to stretch ideas about peace, art, design, function, value, culture and making.” And lots of happy pots!
Lurearts Ceramics by Pam McFadyen
A fairly new blog- but I think there will be some interesting things on the horizon, like her new Tool Talk series. Keep ’em coming!
A weekly update for what’s going on at St. Earth Pottery in Fillmore, IN. I love reading about other potter’s work cycles. And I think one of my favorite parts is listing the music and podcasts of the week.
Douglas Fitch Blog
Maker of “country pots.” When you see the beautiful photographs on his Douglas’ blog, you can see how the landscape effects his pots. Something that I think about a lot as an urban potter.
A nice (and fairly new) blog that has a lot about the business side of pots, and some how-to’s and other studio updates.
“The occasional musings of an overly-enthusiastic-senior potter who recently found her way to the potters wheel.”
One thing that I really like this blog is that Gay writes abouts the ups and the downs of making pots!
Design Realized by Julie Rozman
A new blog by a Lillstreeter (def: someone who works at Lillstreet Art Center in Chicago) which documents her thought process and her new ventures into selling her work. Keep it up Julie!
Jeanette Harris: A Clay Engineer’s Blog
Jeanette’s blog is hilarious! In addition to the humor she has some great info including documentation on her glaze testing, and reviews of books and videos.
Wirerabbit Pots by Taylor H
Taylor has great tutorials – directions on how to make things like plaster bats and terra sigillata. Great information illustrated with helpful photos.
Soderstrom Pottery Blog
“A Minnesota potter, trained in Japan”
Check out his wind powered kiln :)
this artist’s life – day to day in the clay studio
by Whitney Smith
Most recent posts have been about Whitney’s residency in Japan. An unusual perspective and thoughtful posts.
Karin’s Style Blog – Looking at the world with a designer’s eye
I love this blog! Karin’s work is beautiful and she has endless links to other makers and designers from around the world.
Whip-up: handcraft in a hectic world

Tara Robertson Pottery
A great photo tutorial on pit firing. I’m also enjoying reading about Tara’s venture into Etsy.Well, I think that’s enough for now… I hope you have enjoyed this tour. I have thoroughly enjoyed researching this. I have discovered some really exciting new blogs to subscribe to!
oooh, all the links are here on the page but don’t come through the blog that I receive from GoogleGroups! Got it now, Emily. Thanks for linking with nice pics.
Emily,
Thanks for adding my blog to your Pottery Blog list. I’ve been a fan of your blog and your work for quite a while.

Great list! I have some reading to do. Thanks for including my new blog. I’ll be updating often during the summer too!
Emily, I am excited and honored to be on your list! I had read your blog in the past, so it is a special treat to be included! Thanks, Gay Judson
Hi Emily,
I was pleased to see the new incoming links – thank you for including me! Like you, I find it difficult to give time to the blog when clay is calling. But, in some free time or other, I look forward to visiting and commenting on the other blogs appearing here.
Julie
So happy to have found your blog; what great links you have posted, thank you so much!
Hi Emily.
Thank you for having me on your blog. You have some great potters featured here, and am glad to be included!
