Jan Crocker, Pottery

Opening the kiln, as many potters will tell you, is very exciting. One never knows for sure how pots will turn out and that first look is with great anticipation. It’s so much fun to do this and I’m always learning, trying new things, and hoping to improve all my pottery projects.

For more information on my pottery or when & where I am showing,
Email me!

Pottery Pieces

My Pottery Pieces are all fired at lower temperatures than foodware.  I use a variety of methods and materials to get the colors and textures.

Patch Pots

Many of my pottery pieces are experiments such as my Patch Pots.  These are made using gourds as molds with the final outcome always being unique.

Wobblies

The Wobblies are pots that find their own position in space.  They all seem to have little personalities of their own.

Although Jan loves working with clay, she has decided to take a break from pots every now and then to pursue other artistic adventures.  YakimaArt.com hopes that she returns to her very creative potting soon.
