Thank you for visiting!
Welcome!!!
Currently I am scrambling to put together a few piles of wares for the upcoming NCECA conference! Richmond is hosting this year and the ceramics community is VERY excited.
I will have pots available to purchase at both Hand/Thrown, and The Visual Arts Center! Pretty much from March 18th-23rd!
Check out the NCECA website for the many many amazing exhibits that will be peppered through out our city and support the ceramic arts community!
My online Ready to Ship (r.t.s.) section is pretty much sold out for this season but you can still scroll through, just in case you need Made to Order inspiration!
If you are looking for a special pot or a very specific number of what is already shown here, check out mugs, vases, and the m.t.o. made to order sections.
You can also reach out via email at wareforlife@gmail.com to chat about any projects you might have in mind or pots you want to see in the world.
Stay well!!

Pushing myself to make some special things for the Community exhibit at Hand/Thrown. The show will feature work from their pool of very talented teachers and members. It's been fun branching out, if I can get one cool piece out of this batch I'll feel very very lucky.

Oh Hi!
My name is Carla Pillsbury, studio potter/teacher/artist. Welcome to my shop! All of the pieces are wheel thrown, hand built, glazed and fired by me.
I teach beginning and intermediate wheel throwing at Hand/Thrown, a cozy studio in the bustling Brookland Park neighborhood. Check out their website for their varied class offerings, ranging from a single day to and 8 week course!
Collaboration inspires me so if you have an idea for a piece and don’t see it here get in touch and we will build it together!
Meanwhile! For more pots, process insight and pics, follow along on instagram @wareforlife or reach out via email at wareforlife@gmail.com.
