About

Griffin Pottery is a Philadelphia-based ceramics studio specializing in the making of playful, unpretentious wheel-thrown pots for plants and flowers. Our pots are made on the potter's wheel because we believe that even something as ubiquitous as the terracotta planter can be made more beautiful by evidence of the human touch. We throw without the use of a gauge so that no two pots are identical, and each pot has throwing lines and marks from fingers swiping through wet clay to form the emoji-like faces and iconography that adorn our wares. Most importantly, we make pots on the potter's wheel because it's fun! We want our pots to share our love for this ancient craft and bring smiles to the faces of all who see and use them. 

Our selection is small but growing! Limited runs of planters and functional tableware will be posted on this platform regularly, so please consider signing up for our email list if you would like to be notified when new products are added to our collection.
