My current interests in pottery include black and white botanical prints, silhouettes, and deeply carved plates and bowls in a metallic finishes. I discovered that I could do bone carving by picking up a bone and carving it one day. Most of the bones that I've carved have come from deer that were killed by coyotes in the woods near my home, although people have been known to stop by the house and present me with a bag of bones on occasion. My newest projects incorporate both of these art forms.

Schedule your private pottery lesson online through my Instagram page . Click the drop down box / select "BOOK now" /choose a lesson type / pick your day and start time / fill in your contact info, and you're done! Swipe to see screenshots of the process.

The "Try It!" lessons are 90 minutes of personal instruction for 1 or 2 people in my Spring Hill studio, just 5 minutes from downtown. Perfect for date nights, anniversaries, or just an opportunity to do something fun and different for yourself. After your pottery is fired, come back to glaze your masterpiece (no extra charge).

I absolutely love teaching wheel throwing. Every lesson is customized to your skill level, so whether you are a total beginner or an experienced potter, I can help you get to the level of throwing you wish to achieve.

For those who want to increase their skills and confidence on the wheel, I offer packages of 4 private lessons plus practice time and clay. Contact me for questions, payment, and scheduling for packages.

You may also rent out my space for private pottery painting or handbuilding classes for up to 6 people.

Let's have some fun in the studio this year!

Love,
Pittsburgh Pottery Girl

The focus and fun are real! This duo of moms and daughters took a private lesson on the pottery wheel then came back to glaze their pieces. Beautiful work all around, and so different from each other's. I love watching creativity unfold around me. Sign up for your own 90 min private lesson!

My next Open Studio is Saturday, March 23rd and Sunday, March 24th from 12-6 pm each day. Bring some friends and paint pottery, sign up for private lessons or lesson packages, buy a gift certificate, purchase pieces from my gallery, discuss a custom order, watch a pottery demo, enjoy home-baked treats.

Mark your calendars!

Both photos are of the same vase! Photo 1 was taken in a dim room and lit by one incandescent bulb from the side. Photo 2 was taken under bright overhead LED lights just after I finished painting it. Lighting makes a huge difference, doesn't it?

This vase still has to go through 2 firings before it's completed. The glaze firing will saturate the colors, so the pale blue background will be more pronounced by the end.

See this vase and many more next month at the National Arts & Crafts Convention and Show in Ashville, NC.

01/29/2024

I am ecstatic about the vase that I painted yesterday! Swipe to see its progression from pencil sketch to finished piece.

Let's all cross our fingers for a successful firing, as this one is slated for the National Arts & Crafts Conference & Show in Asheville, NC - February 16th, 17th & 18th, 2024. Check out my website to see all of my collections: https://www.LGGCreativeArt.com.

Visit the conference website for full details about the show:

Vase details: Wheelthrown English porcelain from Standard Clay, freehand painted with Amaco Velvet Underglazes. Will be fired to cone 6 with a glossy clear glaze on the inside. Outside will remain matte.

"Winning" is finding a pair of muck boots that perfectly match your pottery and only cost $4!

If you like these pieces, you can buy them at Pittsburgh Acupuncture & Massageworks on Western Ave in the Northside. And get some acupuncture and massage while you're there! They won Best Spa in Pittsburgh in 2023, and my brother, Ian Green, won Best Massage Therapist.

LGG Creative Art Open Studio & Pottery Sale is on Sunday, Jan. 14th from 12-6 and Monday, Jan 15th from 12-8.

1502 Hetzel Street in Spring Hill
No reservations are required--just come on by!

This is the perfect time to book your Valentine's / Galentine's private pottery lessons or small group parties and classes. Plus, I've made dozens of heart bowls (and many other pieces) that you can paint during open studio. My house is my gallery, so if you are looking for heirloom quality art or custom pieces, this is a great opportunity to shop for a special occasion.

Tour my studio and sign up for a "Try It! class, which is designed for people who have never made pottery on the wheel or haven't done it for many years. Sign up for yourself or bring a friend/date/partner/parent/child.

I will teach you how to throw a cup, bowl, planter, or small vase, and then you can come back to glaze your piece during an open studio event (scroll to see photos of a recent private paintinv party). I also offer lesson packages for those who want to expand their skills.

Full details are on my website: www.LGGCreativeArt.com

This one in the kiln right now. My fingers are crossed that it turns out the way it looks in my mind. #newwork #stainedglasscollection #roycroftartisan #fineartpottery #porcelain #amacounderglaze #artsandcraftsstyle #Lggcreativeart

I threw this vase from fine English Porcelain, painted it with Amaco velvet underglazes in the greenware stage, then fired it to cone 6 with a clear glossy liner glaze. It features the Roycroft logo and my initials on the bottom. See it in person at the National Arts & Crafts Convention and Show at the Grove Park Inn in Asheville, NC next weekend. I'm so happy with all of my new pieces! You'll find my work in the Coolidge Room.

Many dozens of heart shaped Tiny Pots in jewel tones are headed to @thinicegiftshop on Elmwood Ave. in Buffalo. I make these out of porcelain on a potter's wheel, hand shape them into hearts, and fuse glass to the centers. They are perfect for rings and pills by the sink, earrings by the bed, a pinch of salt at the table, 3 M&Ms (dieter's candy dish), tooth fairy pots...so many uses. I sell these individually in my Etsy shop (link is in my bio). If you are a shop or gallery owner and wish to order these, please contact me for wholesale details. I have many shapes, sizes, and color combinations to choose from. #handmadewithlove❤ #ringbowl #ringdish #heartdish #heartbowl #porcelainartist #valentinesday #weddingfavors #bridesmaidgift #LGGCreativeArt #thinicegiftshop #tinypots

Our Story

I am a self-taught potter and bone carver who has been working in clay since 2013.

I make 16 different styles of work, but the collection I’ve been focusing on for the past year in finishes that mimic pewter, copper, hematite, and gun metal. Many of the pieces in the Metallic Collection also feature the Roycroft logo, which makes them highly desired by collectors interested in Arts & Craft style work. To see examples of my different collections, locations of shops and galleries where you may purchase my work, and my list of current shows and classes, please visit my website at www.LGGCreativeArt.com.

For online purchases, please visit my Etsy shop at Etsy.com/shop/LGGCreativeArt I discovered that I could do bone carving by picking up a bone and carving it one day. Now I can't stop. Most of the bones that I've carved have come from deer that were killed by coyotes in the woods near my home, although people have been known to stop by the house and present me with a bag of bones on occasion. Most of my carvings become wall pieces or small sculptures, but recently I’ve begun to make pendants and earrings out of bone, fur, feathers, and other natural elements. These are really cool statement pieces that you simply will not find anywhere else. When my collection gets a bit larger, I will post it on my Etsy page.

Because I enjoy making many different types of work, I get a lot of requests for custom pieces. If you would like something unique and wonderful for your home, business, or to give as a special gift, please check out the many photos on my website (LGGCreativeArt.com) then give me a call (315-750-5022) or shoot me an email ([email protected]) to discuss what you’d like me to make.
