Whitman Shenk Tea Pot

Whitman Shenk, a seasoned ceramic artist residing in Point Reyes Station, California, has devoted three decades to crafting functional, soda-fired pots. Rooted in a passion for daily rituals, his creations aim to forge connections with individuals. Whitman envisions his pots seamlessly integrated into kitchen routines, encouraging frequent use. Currently immersed in his "polka dot" phase, he delightfully adorns his pots with playful dots, infusing each unique piece with a whimsical charm that adds joy to the ordinary. Through his art, Whitman invites people to embrace the beauty of utility in their daily lives. 

This is Whitman's first firing in two years and we are delighted to have this new work in the shop.
