<\/p>\nKat\u2019s Ketch Pottery is located on the edge of West Lebanon village, Maine. Take a short detour off Rt 202 as you enter Maine-Vacationland, just over the border from New Hampshire- Live Free or Die. At the first stoplight, in our two stoplight town, turn left up West Lebanon Rd. Once you reach the Village, take the road least traveled on: 61 Orrills Hill Rd.<\/p>\n
My fantasy when I took that first workshop long ago was: living in the country in a log cabin. I could imagine myself walking in a field in my long skirt enjoying afternoon tea sipping out of one of my mugs. Yes, I am a child of the 60\u2019s.<\/p>\n
Over the years my studio has grown from a corner of the basement to 18\u2019 x 24\u2019 with spaces for clay work, extruder, slab roller, 2 wheels and glaze station. Plans for expansion are always in the works.<\/p>\n
Outside in the garage are my two kilns, raku kiln. Next to that is one of my favorite places: my outside screened in studio. Maine summers are short and irresistible so I need to be outside as much as possible.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
I have taken workshops and classes across the country. Some of my favorites have been right here in Maine: Haystack Mountain School of Crafts, Haystack-Mtn.org<\/a>, www.heartwoodcollegeofart.org<\/a>, Maine College of Art Maine College of Art, Portland Pottery Studio www.portlandpottery.com<\/a>. The most recent workshops have been presented by Maureen Mills, and Karen Orsillo, outstanding potters.<\/p>\n I have worked with all the clays, earthenware, stoneware, porcelain, and can see the benefits of all. I enjoy many types of firing techniques and looking forward to exploring more.<\/p>\n I am eclectic both in life and when it comes to my work in pottery. I draw ideas from all around me. It could be nature just as well as architecture that inspires me. I can draw ideas from looking at an ancient piece of pueblo pottery as well looking a painting in the Maine Museum of Art. I used to see this as a weakness, but now\u2026well, that is just me. It makes working in pottery absolutely fascinating for me. There is so much to explore! The process is what it is all about!<\/p>\n Please enjoy looking at a few pieces in my gallery. I certainly enjoyed creating them.<\/p>\n Kathleen King, Kat\u2019s Ketch Pottery Kat\u2019s Ketch Pottery is located on the edge of West Lebanon village, Maine.

Creating for me is a sheer joy, but I also love to see a piece of my work being purchased. The story of that pot is only just beginning. I do hope it brings pleasure to whoever receives it! Ceramics may be an ancient art form, but it is one that endures today. My thanks, to all those who enjoy a fine handcrafted piece of mud that has met fire and become an item to be treasured.<\/p>\n
