Shelby Bond Ceramics is based in Seattle, WA. I am a floral designer and part time potter. My floral design company is called Bond in Bloom and I often makes the vessels for the events I provide florals for (but not always).

Most of my pottery is made on the wheel. I give myself a great deal of freedom to follow my creative instincts in the studio. I hope the joy I feel in making is reflected in my finished pieces.

The handmade nature of my work is apparent in my organic, tactile style. Perfect I am not. My pottery may not be completely symmetrical and the glaze may have drips and be uneven. I want my work to be useful, tactile, organic and soulful.

Many of my pieces are one of a kind so if you see something you like it’s good to know it may not be available again.
