Joy Tanner

Wood and soda-fired, functional and sculptural, with exquisite surfaces and textures

Whether rinsing garden tomatoes at the kitchen sink, or pausing to study wildflowers along the trail, Joy believes in taking time to notice the little details of life. A potter in Bakersville, NC, Joy creates functional wood and soda-fired pottery, with glazes that spread and lightly pool across textured surfaces and highlight the curve of a handle, the lip of a tumbler, or the small peak or divot on a bowl.
