Autumn Bunton was born in Spokane, Washington in 1980. She was raised on a farm that her family homesteaded in the 1800s! Always interested in the antiques and curiosities found around the family farm, Autumn started to create art with whatever she could find…

My entire body of work is composed of wheel-thrown and hand-built stoneware and porcelain both functional and non-functional. All forms are vessel inspired and are either high-fired in a reducing atmosphere or are fired using raku and/or raku inspired techniques.

Hand building pottery is Jodee Moody’s passion because the technique allows her to create a variety of different art forms. Texture and nature have had a major influence in her pottery. She loves to make bird baths and bird houses and garden art. Yes, she makes the regular functional mugs, bowls, platters and vases but with texture, crystal glazes, stains and a variety of lead-free cone 6 glazes.

All of my pottery is wheel thrown, hand painted and functional ware. All of my paintings are inspired by the things that I love and experience in life. I’m happy to take special requests such as custom mugs based on photos of your pet and much more.

For me, pottery is about discovering and creating, trying different techniques, glazes, firings.  Finding what works and what doesn't.  Accepting challenges, solving problems and growing from them.  It's about the encouragement and inspiration I gain from my fellow artists and from you who "adopt" my pots.  My hope is that you will give them a good homes and that they will be used and loved and bring enrichment to your life, as they have to mine as I have invested my time and energy in them.  If you look closely, you will find my fingerprints on every piece--promise! 

I have been passionate about clay since my first pottery class 45 years ago, and have explored ceramic art as a hobby most of my life.  In 2018 I returned to Spokane from the Peace Corps, retired and ready to pour myself into my creative passion.  I have been passionate about clay since my first pottery class 45 years ago, and have explored ceramic art as a hobby most of my life. 

I love the feel of the clay when I am throwing on the potter’s wheel.  I enjoy dividing the pot into sections to decorate with carved or stamped patterns.  The variables in the glazing and firing processes have made me more accepting and open to chance.  I describe my pottery as elegantly functional.  I start with a classic shape and then add decorations based on the beauty I see in nature.
