Georgia Pottery - JAV Designs

Description

JAV Designs & Georgia Pottery is our family operated pottery business consisting of my husband Jim Adams and myself Valerie Addicott. Although I do most of the pottery making on the wheel, my husband does all of the chemical glaze mixing and he loves handbuilding. We have several of our own glazes that he has created and that have become local favorites. He is continually expanding his knowledge of creating wonderful glazes to use with my work because without a great glaze even the best looking piece of pottery can be wasted.

Northeast Georgia pottery holds an art form of it's very own. From generations of potters creating new and different art forms from the earth's clay, it is probably the best area for finding inspirations to contribute to our own craft. We create many of our utilitarian wares using many Georgian clays because we enjoy the iron richness of the "fire clays".

We are considered self taught potters having, no formal training in pottery or ceramics. We have gathered information from the many wonderful potters that we have come across that have been willing to share their experiences with us as well as trying to attend as many workshops as we are able and studying from every form of media material that we can get our hands on. We are constantly expanding our experiences by always trying different types of high fire clays and pushing our limits as well as the clays. We like to work exclusively with the high fire clays because we feel that our pottery art is best expressed through making utilitarian and art oriented wares fired to the higher temperatures needed to make them totally functional as oven safe art. My greatest pleasure comes from creating a functional work of art that will allow me to express my creativity as well as embed my passion and love into each piece of clay that I work with. It is very difficult to explain the relationship that a potter has with their clay but it is always reflected in their work. I hope each piece I make will be as special to its new owner as it was to me.
