Sarah and Thea

Each Downing Pottery piece is made by me, Sarah D Woodson, with the guiding principle to "celebrate home". My pottery is functional, made to be used, but hopefully just a little bit special. The greatest compliment I receive as a maker, is to hear that a piece of mine has brought joy into someone's day - especially now.

After many years of hustling my way through the maker life of art shows, summer street festivals, wholesale accounts and pop-ups I've now settled into a quieter and more contained practice. I work from a home studio, and sell most of my work in-person at The Merc - a kitchen goods shop I own and operate with my husband. As new business owners we’re still working out this new schedule and life balance, and are looking forward to some lazy days off. Maybe next year. :)

I take great pride in this work and am thrilled to share it with you.
THANK YOU FOR SUPPORTING HANDMADE
