Working from her home/studio in Chilmark, MA on the island of Martha’s Vineyard, Heather Goff handcrafts decorative, functional pottery and tiles.
Shop
Heather’s Folk Tiles are available at her home gallery which she shares with her partner, Bill O’Callaghan. Please check out the Instagram feed to see what is coming out of the kiln!
Winter Hours: Open by appointment anytime, just call first.
Gallery Hours: 10 am- 4 pm Thursday – Sunday
or by appointment, please call 508-955-9944
Her functional ceramic pottery is available directly from her home gallery. She will ship her work anywhere in the world.
If you don’t see the tile that you are looking for, please contact me. I will make tiles to order.
We have a new pottery shop/gallery and sculpture trail on our property in Chilmark, and I have temporarily closed my Etsy shop. Work comes out of the kiln, lands in the shop, and visitors stop by and purchase it. This winter, I’ll be redesigning the online store so that people can see the full range of designs that I offer and have pieces made to order. In the meantime, please check out the Instagram feed to see what I am working on, and have in stock. If you see anything that interests you, I can send you photographs. I ship!
Here is a video of what is on my pottery shelves. I am working on several tile commissions so have new designs coming into the shop every few weeks.
Some of this year’s Easter eggs. 😊 with @hannahbmooreart and @gordonmoore97 and @vallerypeters_
Some water experiences with a visiting granddaughter this weekend.
My daughter brought over an amazing pastry box by @korcon. So yummy!!
Sunset walk.
Studio visit 3/14/21. Work in progress, altering a wheel thrown earthenware cylinder
18 of 21 new painterly 4x4 tile designs, inspired by a backsplash commission. Many are Martha’s Vineyard scenes requested by the client. I have about 4 more landscapes (still working on sketches) to add to the series.
I took a break from tiles to throw some pots today. I carved this small pitcher while dreaming of spring and summer flowers
So proud of my son, @gordonmoore97 for the recognition his film, Rain Pot, is receiving!
Making some stationary for letters, and playing with some new inks. 😊💕
48 degrees, no wind, the perfect day to sneak a mid day walk at Great Rock Bight. I love the off season on our island.
Lovely mid-day beach walk to clear the head.
One more round of cookie making to start of 2021 on a creative foot. With @hannahbmooreart
Decorating gingerbread cookies as a rainy Christmas afternoon activity. My heart is full.
This tree has been in my life for over 20 years. She humbly displays a storyboard of holidays past, written with the ornaments made by friends and family and the memories that they refresh. Most of the year she fits in a compact box in the storage space under the eaves. When she comes out, dresses up, and shines, she fills the house with cheer.
Our pottery shop is open every day from 10-4 up through Christmas Eve and by appointment if you prefer to come early or late. Please wear masks.
Such beautiful colors in the wet dusk light.
Packing up some tiles! 🌸🌸
The glaze kiln is unloaded! The top was a lot cooler than the bottom so I’m going to re-fire the tippy top tiles - some 4x4 vineyard scenes and angels. These, though, are all going to get wires put on the back for hanging and will be in the shop later today. If you see anything you would like to see a closeup of, please message me. I do ship. 💕 (the candlesticks are not for sale)
This glaze kiln is packed! Barely 2 inches between shelf layers. Fingers crossed that the kiln gods are kind.
Inventory 12-5-2020. Here is what I have in inventory in the shop today. I am glazing up another kiln load this weekend and hope to be adding new tiles to the shelves mid week next week. Our shop is open 10-4 Thursday through Sunday, and I do ship my work. 💕💕
I have an idea to make a candle holder that is three fish - each to hold a chime candle - started “sketching” out a rough draft in clay this evening.
Made some progress on underglaze painting today. So much fun!
So grateful!
Just wrapped up the loveliest early Thanksgiving meal - just family - outside dining - potluck. Eating by lantern light is glorious. I am feeling full of good food and gratitude. Wishing all of you a wonderful Thanksgiving, too!
Taking some time in the studio to play and experiment. Grateful.
Some new tile designs in the glaze kiln I'm unloading this morning. The Vineyard scenes were designed for a backsplash commission. I'll have some in our pottery shop as well.
My sister found an old box of my linoleum cuts from the early 1990s as she was helping my dad cleanout some storage.
Beautiful morning for a walk with my beloved.
When I was in the storage shed, I Discovered the plaster molds for these tile designs that I created in the 1990s. I’m excited to get some pressed, glazed, and fired!
Making some chocolate cookies. In my happy place.
A new moon inspired mask and some sculpted eyes. All pieces have wires for hanging on the back.
Misty morning walk.
Sketching out some new ideas for tile designs.
12 loaves of multi-grain bread. ❤️ a domestic day.
Glaze kiln unloaded. 😊 stocking up the gallery shelves. I have a series of new tile designs of Vineyard scenes that I’m creating for a backsplash commission and eight of them will be in the shop today.
