Welcome
Justice Pottery creates functional stoneware that is fired to 2,280 degrees Fahrenheit. Pots are glazed with various earth components including ashes from oak and maple trees harvested on the potter’s property. The ash glazes lend character, interest, subtlety and a local quality to the surface of the pots. Slip glazes are made from local clay dug from the excavation site of Copley Place in the early 1980’s.
Stones, gathered in Northern Maine’s Lake District, are used as handles for pottery lids. The stones are adhered to the lids with Blenko glass shards that melt during the final firing process.
As a self taught potter, Justice’s work expresses her dedication to traditional pottery. Justice Pottery has been developed over 45 years. Although it is not recommended for microwave or stove top use, the pottery is dishwasher and oven safe and contains no lead. Justice Pottery can be found at Fuller Craft Museum Gift Shop.
The Story
The Chipmunk at the Pottery
This past year, the garden chipmunks have surreptitiously made their way into the pottery throwing shed. Artist Peter Cormack created the design for Justice Pottery with the idea of a chipmunk as a pottery apprentice. Greg Gorman made Cormack’s design into the stained glass medallion.
