About

Kyle Smith Pottery, Columbia, SC

I enjoy spending time on the potter's wheel making a large variety of unique functional pieces. I use a durable clay body, made with a mix of porcelain and stoneware that is ideal for everyday use.  I was inspired to carve texture into the clay, resembling swaying, high grass along the shoreline, after noticing the beauty of it while kayaking the waters of South Carolina.  I like to glaze my work with subtle, overlapping colors to give a finished look similar to a serene, watercolor landscape painting.  I am thankful for everyday that I can wake up, walk out to my studio and simply spend the entire day creating a quality product that I can sell at an affordable price.
