who makes it happen

Eye to the Sky Ceramics is a two-person studio producing functional pottery.  We work out of a rural basement in Yates County, NY (or Ontario County, depending on who you believe). We use a variety of clay bodies. Our commercial stoneware and porcelain is sourced from an East Coast clay producer, and we maintain a small collection of wild clay pieces that use a combination of Finger Lakes clay deposits- this we dig and mill by hand.  Our work is fired to cone 6.  

Kate began Eye to the Sky Ceramics after spending a few years producing pots for friends, family, and her own kitchen. In 2021, seeking autonomy in her income and beauty in her work, she committed herself to growing her pottery work into a flourishing business that could support a small family. 

Her husband, Nick, with almost a decade of experience managing production in small craft shops, was asked to help out in the summer of 2022. He has become her partner in the business and taken over several key roles --  including trimming, pulling & attaching handles and processing the ever-present recycled clay supply.

And Boots. He has a job, we just haven't asked what it is yet.
