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!   

SUMMER 2008! 

I am working now for an August exhibit in Glenwoood Springs, CO at the Colorado Mountain College's Center for Excellence. It is all new terra cotta work and I will be posting it soon on my web site! Please 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

 

NEW ON THIS SITE: Look for current work available for immediate sale in the Gallery pages, marked with orange asterisks. From the Gallery , you can now choose to view either Wood-Fired,  Soda-Fired or Majolica  Pottery. Also, I have just added a Majolica Handpainted Tile section to the Gallery Page. Call or email  me for prices, sizes and shipping info. Also new is a Showroom Page, with actual "live" group shots of my Showroom right now!  So, please, get yourself a cup of tea and enjoy taking a look around!
