Oh hey there! I’m Katy!

A potter and Pittsburgh native who specializes in wheel-thrown, carved porcelain. My energy is focused on creating simple, elegant art as your home decor and kitchenware. 

I’ve recently expanded to include ceramic workshops at my studio in the Southside of Pittsburgh. You’ll leave our 2 ½ hour long workshop with the title of ceramic artist and some beautiful new pottery, including ceramic earrings, bud vases and candleholders. The offerings change each month and are great for everyone from beginner to advanced-level craftiness!

No droopy lobes here! Ceramic earrings are actually light and comfortable when created with thin porcelain. It’s a delicate balance of using enough clay to be sturdy for everyday wear, but keeping it thin for that light, airy feel! Curious about clay earrings? Drop your questions in the comments or join us at our next workshop to learn the technique! And to make things even better, we’ve teamed up with @thecheesequeenpgh for our May 4th Earring Workshop! So you can be snacking on cheese goodies galore while you get all the clay earring tips and tricks.

The words just hit differently when it comes to pottery. Slurry: A rough, thick mixture of water and clay Throwing: the act of sitting down at a pottery wheel and creating a vessel Wedging: kneading clay with your hands to remove air bubbles and make a homogeneous mass Bat: discs you attach to the head of the pottery wheel for throwing Want to learn more about pottery?

Registration is open for my April and May Workshops! I only have 3 spots left in the upcoming April Bud Vase Workshop, so if you’ve been pondering it, now’s your chance!

Our favorite local florist who is providing fresh buds to adorn each finished vase!

The great local artist? That’s ME! I spotted my earrings on Holly from @wilbanksconsultinggroup during a serendipitous moment @talkpittsburgh. We’d never met and were both there for our segments, so it was pure fate! Supporting local businesses and artists shines in moments like this. Seeing my creations worn and loved by Holly made my day—maybe even my year. That’s a wrap, 2025! But sincerely, thanks to all of you for the incredible support! I love being an artist in Pittsburgh! #HandmadeEarrings #katylynnpottery #CeramicEarrings #SmallBatchJewelry #ShopSmall #pittsburghjewelry

Porcelain is moody BUT these 3 things help make it less moody when handbuilding with it ⬇️ 1. Don’t overwork it - Porcelain clay is delicate, and it has a memory! So handle it with care, as it can become prone to cracking if pushed too far when wet. 2. Never let it dry out - Porcelain hardens fast and becomes unforgiving, so keep it moist until you’re ready to form it. 3. Clean your tools & hands - Even tiny bits of dirt or old clay can ruin porcelain’s pure finish, so clean your tools and hands throughout your process to keep it tidy! Happy making friends! #katylynnpottery #ceramicpotteryartist #handbuiltpottery #pittsburghworkshop #pittsburghartist #thingstodoinpgh #PghHomeDecor #PittsburghMade #PghCandleLove #interiordesignpgh

Added BONUS: You’ll also get two @wicksburgh_pgh handcrafted tapers to take home in your new shiny holders! Don’t worry if you’ve never worked with clay before! I’ll guide you through every step and at the end you’ll feel like a true ceramic artist!
