“…Handmade pottery creates a person-to-person intimacy. The hand of the artist reaches through the object to touch the hand of the user… “ -Wayne Higby

Our ceramic art is handmade by Leah & Scott DeCapio. It is first shaped on a potter’s wheel or by hand from a slab by Scott. Leah then paints the entire piece black and carves the designs into the clay. Each piece is an original, no stencils are used! From here, the piece goes through a series of firings (and some are adorned with metal work and handmade glass beads).

All of our functional work is food-safe. We do not recommend putting them in the microwave.

Leah Simmons DeCapio has made art all of her life. She received a Studio Arts Degree (with an emphasis in Ceramics) and an Anthropology Degree from the University of Colorado. Today, she lives and creates in the mountains of Glen Haven, Colorado. Her work is inspired by the beauty of nature around her, family and friends, and the smiles offered by strangers!

Scott DeCapio is a self-taught potter. His educational background is in Biology, from Johnson State in Vermont. In recent years, his passion for mountain climbing has taken him on multiple expeditions to Alaska and places as far away as Pakistan and Kyrgyzstan. When not traveling, he divides his time between the mountains of Colorado and in the studio with Leah (and their dogs!)

Oh, and our studio (home too!) is powered by renewable energy: Wind and Water!!!
