Sammy Sass Ceramics Handmade Pots for Daily Use *Handmade Ceramics*
At the age of ten I began throwing pots and it was love at first spin.

I've been working with clay ever since and my work can be found in cupboards, dishracks, and ovens throughout the city. I work out of a co-op studio in Brookline and sell my ware at 450 Harrison Avenue on the First Friday of each month, in local craft fairs, and in my kitchen when friends come over for dinner. I specialize in handthrown pottery for everyday use, constructing traditional forms usin

g bright colors and a personalized style. When I throw, I feel connected to the generations of potters who have come before me and who have used their hands to add beauty to objects of daily use. I believe my ceramics are best enjoyed when serving a yummy meal to good friends and family.


*Teaching*
My love of throwing pots is matched only by my love of teaching others how to make ceramics. I have many years of experience teaching youth and adults how to knit and throw pots, both in a classroom and in private lessons.

This is the scene.
The stuff on the table is bisque ware meaning it’s been fired once and is deeply porous.
Colors in the wall are glaze test tiles which show each color on 5 types of clay.
I use cream and blue on these and the speckles come through during the second kiln firing.
I’m the background is a work room, at the community coop studio. People are chatting and throwing pots in the wheels.

I made a lot of plates. Send prayers to the kiln that these all come out without a wobble! I’m glazing today in my fave white and blue geometry.

These full dinner plates are slab built and wheel altered on a plaster mold I designed. I’ve made one a day, after work, by lamplight on the back porch.

Clay shrinks about 13% by the time it’s a “final” “product” !!
