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. Eventually, 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.
All of our grandchildren were at the wedding! Thank you @hannahbmooreart for sewing the girls such beautiful dresses!! You are an artist of many talents and these dresses were stitched with love. I am so grateful to be your mom. 💕
My son @gordonmoore97 made us the most awesome and delicious wedding cake! He is not just a fabulous ceramist and kind creative soul, he also can bake! The top was chocolate ganache over layers of chocolate mousse, blended hazelnuts, stabilized whipped cream, and flourless chocolate cake.
The bottom was an Italian cream cake with pecans, toasted coconut, and a cream cheese frosting. 💕💕💕 it was extraordinary. Thank you, Gordon!
I was gifted the most beautiful bouquet for my wedding! (And floral arrangements!) Thank you @emstermv for gathering and composing the flowers for our celebration. Your artistry elevated our event into something magical. ❤️❤️❤️🙏
So happy Lucy Vincent is open past 7 pm again so that we can watch the moon rise there. It was magical.
Yesterday, my beloved partner, Bill and I had a potluck, pizza party wedding. With the help of friends and family, we gathered tables and benches, strung lights, and transformed Island Folk Pottery (our home, pottery shop and sculpture trail) into a sparkling stage for joyful celebration. I made the pizza dough and Bill manned the outdoor oven. Delicious food was contributed by all. We could not have asked for a more perfect day. I am so grateful for the teamwork that helped to make our wedding truly special. ❤️
Getting ready for our wedding on Sunday, I spent the last three days repairing the tile tables that @hannahbmooreart and I made three years ago. I needed to replace the board that they were adhered to. I removed all the tiles and reassembled them with mortar onto concrete backer board. Hannah came over to help me grout them. I finished cleaning them up today. They are slightly more irregular than they were originally but they will do.
Unloading a fresh batch of tiles for the shop.
Our pottery shop will be closed on Saturday, September 11th, but we will be open Sunday the 12th and Monday the 13th from 11-5. The sculpture trail is open every day from 9-5.
Birthday morning walk at Lucy Vincent beach with my beloved. @madpottermv
Fresh from the kiln, now in the shop. 16 Marion’s Way, Chilmark, MA
New vases. I’m experimenting with surface decoration on earthenware vessels.
New pieces headed out to our shop today. 😊 island Folk Pottery, 16 Marion’s Way, Chilmark, MA
Trying out a majolica technique- painting colorant over a white glaze.
Just finished unloading a glaze kiln with some of the tile designs that I had sold out of. Our shop hours are 11-5, Wednesday- Saturday and 2-5 on Sunday.
Misty early morning walk.
My parents’ dog. 😊
This fantastical creature has found a home, hidden on our sculpture trail. @islandfolkpottery
I am covering the foundation of our home, but by bit, with my tiles. These are mortared, but not grouted yet.
Some tiles fresh from the kiln. I had sold out of most of these designs so am happy to put them out in the shop.
Misty late afternoon walk.
Shop Tour May 30, 2021. A quick tour of what I have in inventory this Memorial Day weekend. Thank you for watching! If you see anything that interests you, I’m happy to send photos. I’m happy to ship.😊the shop is open anytime by appointment or Wednesday- Saturday from 11-5, Sunday from 2-5. We are open Memorial Day from 11-5.
Some new tile designs inspired by the landscapes around me.
Unloaded a glaze kiln this morning! Our Patrons on Patreon.com get the first preview. I’ll post tomorrow a video of the new work.
Different tiles set out to dry. The ones on the left are edge tiles - so that I can finish tiling the window sills in my home.
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.
