Stoneware Pottery in Helena Montana

 Windy Valley Studio is the name my family and I decided to give this little Pottery studio that sits under a crisp and gorgeous big sky. 

Located between mountains, the wind here sends tumbleweeds on a journey, bouncing through the desert prairie. 

When the wind isn't too strong the local jackrabbits sneak out from behind the brush to help themselves to a little of this and that from the garden. 

We are happy to share with them! 

They are fun to have around and Donna, the studio dog loves to watch them from inside. 

The way stoneware radiates heat makes it the best thing to clasp in icy hands when the wind is blowing. It makes me happy and it seems to make others happy too. To me, this pottery is delightful to make and soothing to use. The addition of crabby rabbits, paper airplanes in space, or lively watercolor gardens ensures these pieces will just as artfully serve a bowl of ice cream or a hot cup of coffee.

Beguiling characters, colors and scenes grace this stoneware. Invoked from earth, fire and a dash of puckishness, the fun of it - like delicate wisps of steam - weaves its way into the senses.
