  • Fact: our ceramic trees are so hard to photograph well! But can we all agree these pastel lights are about as adorable as can be? What colors do you like on your trees?

  • Today's firing on hold while we wait for Charlotte the Spider to get out of the kiln elements. We tried explaining to her that this really isn't going to be a safe, fun place for her to be making her new web but she doesn't seem to be listening.

  • Taking a quick break from glazing to introduce myself, Katie, the other half of Morton Pottery! I grew up in Morton and am third cousins twice removed (something like that at least!) from the Rapp family that opened the original Morton Pottery! I dabbled in wheel thrown pottery about 16 years ago before opening Eli's Coffee Shop. Running a coffee shop is no joke and I truly had no spare time for hobbies. I got married to Ben (whom I met at Eli's....how Hallmark movie-esque is that?!?) We added two cute kids to our lives and eventually sold the coffee shop a few years ago to a wonderful, long time employee. Having a young family keeps me busy but on a whim I signed up for another pottery class just over two years ago and haven't stopped! I absolutely love anything to do with pottery and it's the only hobby/job/livelihood that gives me as much excitement and joy as the coffee shop did. Despite losing a 'few' nights of sleep stressing over custom pumpkins that we want to be perfect for you, I love what I do and it doesn't feel like work. It really is a dream; our studio is above the garage in our home, my husband and I get to work together and we often have a lazy dog at our feet. I look forward to meeting Morton Pottery fans at our pop-up shop on December 7th at (of course) Eli's!

  • One time in grade school a girl came in with new Reebok Pumps (yes...the kind with the rubber ball pump on the tongue and yes I'm aware this dates me) and, being the attention seeking girl that she was said, Anyone notice my new shoes???? Well, being the attention seeking Potter that I am and I'm alone in my studio with no one to compliment me.... Anyone notice my nicely washed kiln shelves???

  • This most recent November Arctic Blast got us thinking about January when we will all be in the depths of winter and our kids are going stir-crazy! We put together these cute little Paint-Your-Own Owl kits! $35 includes three - 3 tall owls, an acrylic paint set and a brush! These are perfect for stocking stuffers, to have on hand when the grandkids visit for the holidays or to keep hidden to pull out during the aforementioned Depths of Winter.

  • One of these things is not like the others!! Meet our new Skutt Kiln!! We've been firing our nearly 40 year old kilns almost 24/7 and we're pretty sure they whimper and cower every time we enter the studio. They aren't meant for that kind of use and they really were slowing us down on productivity. We could only fire about four pumpkins at a time and now...we should be able to fit 14-15!!! When each pumpkin needs at least two firings and sometimes three for touch-ups, we need a workhorse! This kiln will be able to do that, not to mention the amazing glaze effects will be able to get on our high fired wheel thrown pottery! Now...what to name it???

  • We haven't posted much because we are hard at work on your orders! So! Many! Orders! Thank you! And thank you for being patient while we learn this process and work out the kinks. Our kiln decided to go on strike after 15 days of nearly straight use. Luckily we had a backup coming from the previous owners although we had been stalling on getting it moved because, well, moving a kiln is no easy task. Please know that if you have placed an order with us we have it and we are working on it and we hope to be getting them all wrapped up soon!! And for those of you who have asked...we are then on to Christmas trees and nativities!

  • Happy Monday! Here's a chance to #meetthemaker ! Ben is the co-owner of Morton Pottery, a former Morton Junior High English teacher (🙋if you had Mr. V!) and now Morton Pottery spell-checker extraordinaire. While he's somewhat new to the art of ceramics he is an amazing maker of metal arts and writer of poetry and his natural creativity has allowed him to take to pottery like a natural. Ben is constantly brainstorming new ideas to make as soon as we get our pumpkin orders under control 😬 and we're so excited actually put some of those ideas into the kiln!
