Diane Kenney Pottery

 

I have lived and worked as a potter in Western Colorado for many years. My studio is located just outside of Carbondale, a small, but amazing town in the Colorado Rockies! 

Welcome to my website!   

SPRING 2008!

Winter snows in Colorado this year were abundant, making spring all the more welcome. I have been experimenting with some new terra cotta work, not yet ready for prime time, challenging myself with change.  Stay tuned...

Interested in a Wedding Registry?  I have started a wedding registry service. Couples may order custom dinnerware and/or selected pieces. Wedding guests may choose to give a place-setting, or individual pieces. Contact me for details: info@dianekenney.com

 

Wood-Fired - Batter Bowls

ABOUT WOOD-FIRING 

Firing the wood kiln is a long, hot, labor intensive and FUN process. It takes about 16 hours of steady stoking, and stirring up the ashes in the firebox to create a rich surface on the ”shoulders” of the pots. Potters love wood kilns, not only for the distinctive look of the pots, but also for the camaraderie of the firing and because it brings us so close to the kiln as a living creature.    Click here to see more wood-fired work
