Featured Studio
Ruby Duncan – A Mother Potter
Come and see where I make my pottery and enjoy browsing my native garden. My pieces are functional and contemporary, as I love to create what you can enjoy and use as part of your daily life, mugs, plates, vases and more. I use a variety of clays and glazes, all fired in my own backyard. Open during the week if you contact me, or feel free to pop in and see if I’m home.
