Mary’s ceramic ware can currently be purchased at the
Seymour Marine Discovery Center Gift Shop in Santa Cruz, CA
Mary has been playing with clay since she was a child. In 1978, Mary opened shop as an independent studio potter at Bluebird Creek Pottery in Santa Cruz, California, working with a downdraft high-fired gas reduction kiln (Cone 9-10) and traditional glazes. Her porcelain, carved celadon, and stoneware work has been sold by Gumps of San Francisco, and by fine arts galleries in Santa Cruz, Monterey, and Murphys, California.
Her work resides in private collections in the United States, Japan, and Europe. See more about her potter’s journey and her recent work on the dropdown Potter menu above.
Currently, Mary explores the land and seascapes of the Monterey Bay region and its flora and fauna through both clay and paint. She now fires her clay pieces to Cone 5-7, a lower, more environmentally appropriate temperature, in an electric kiln powered by the sun. All of her pottery is lead free, non-toxic, dishwasher and microwave safe.
