We are local artists of the Juniata County, Pennsylvania region. We grew up in Juniata County and both attended Lock Haven University. While at Lock Haven, to fulfill general education requirements we took various art classes, which included hand-thrown pottery courses. We studied under the direction of Professor Vance McCoy. We later graduated and in April of 2006, opened our own pottery studio under the named of Wildfire Pottery. The studio started out in the back of a garage on the Swamp Road in Mexico, Pennsylvania. There we produced many different forms such as: bowls, mugs, vases, teapots, plates, lidded containers, spoon rests, bottles, oil burners, pitchers, and many more. The studio has since been moved to our home in McAlisterville, Pennsylvania. At this time, we do not have a shop of our own. We attend several craft shows through out the year and try to display our work as many different locations as possible. A list of events and locations where our work can be found is available on the main page of this website.
Since we began throwing we have been featured by the Juniata County Arts Council at their 2006 Soup n' Bowl Luncheon, November/December '06 featured artist at the First National Bank of Mifflintown, won first and second prize in the 2006 Juniata County Fair, and have been featured by: The Sentinel, The Juniata Sentinel, and The Times in numerous articles.
All the pottery we make is food safe, microwave safe, and dishwasher safe. For oven use, it is recommended the piece be placed in a cold oven and then preheated. Placing a cold ceramic dish into a hot oven can cause temperature shock and may crack or break the piece. Stovetop applications are not recommended. The uneven heating of a stovetop can also cause temperature shock.
Thank you for stopping by our site today, and we look forward to working with you in the future!
