Mays Pottery has been making hand-thrown pottery, dinnerware, and one-of-a-kind art pottery for over 25 years. Their work is set apart from other artists by its exceptional craftsmanship and brilliant colors. Martha and Nathan, a mother-and-son team, come from a rich pottery heritage.
Their studio and gallery are located on the banks of the Haw River near Chapel Hill, North Carolina. All pottery made at the Mays Pottery is hand-thrown; no other methods are used. Traditional techniques and ancient Japanese bamboo brushwork trademark their work. The porcelain is crafted by the duo in a maze of detailed production processes that yield the most beautiful and functional porcelain attainable.
