Jackie Matelski Ceramics creates wheel thrown and hand painted functional ceramics for every day use.  Designs are inspired by nature, fabric, and toilet paper patterns and are continued inside, outside, and through to the bottom of each piece.  Specialty items like tea infuser mugs, tea pots with warmer bases, pour over coffee mug sets, and fermentation crocks highlight her inventory in addition to inventive takes on the standard mug, plate, and bowl.  All products are dishwasher and microwave safe and made to integrate comfortably into your daily routine through careful attention to design and ergonomics.  Pretty and comfortable from your hand to the dish drainer.

“My life as a potter really began on a trip to Haystack Mountain School of Crafts in Deer Isle, Maine.  I was awarded a scholarship to attend a week long workshop and decided to ship my bike to Portland, ME and ride up the coast to Haystack.  Haystack introduced me to the amazing community of people bound together by clay–a community I think differs from other media. Clay people love to create, love to eat, and love to share with others, and for those reasons I fit in just right.”
