Welcome to Mudtown Pottery. My name is Beth and I operate a small batch ceramics studio in Cahaba Heights, a suburb of Birmingham, AL.  I create handmade pottery that I hope will be used and enjoyed everyday. All  products are wheel thrown or hand built and each piece goes through two firings to produce durable and beautiful work that will withstand daily use.  As mom to four grown children, I understand the chaos and commotion that goes along with raising a family so I try  to make things that will stand up to the demands of daily life. 

My logo (by Kadie Smith of Drop Cap Design) is a nod to the Cahaba Lily, a beautiful flower that grows along the Cahaba River. It is a simple, yet beautiful, reminder of God's love and care for us. 

Consider the lilies, how they grow; they neither toil nor spin, but I tell you, not even Solomon in all his glory clothed himself like one of these.  Luke 12:27

Each May, Danny and I make a pre-dawn trip to see the lilies in bloom, paddling out in our canoe to be in the middle of the outcrop in the morning fog.    To me, "Mudtown" seemed like the perfect name to reflect the history of our community, our love for the environment, and the main ingredient I use for pottery!

Please take a look at the gallery to see what I have been up to. If you would like to purchase a piece of pottery, you can purchase from the Shop or you can contact me at beth@mudtownpottery.com.   Feel free to reach out anytime and please follow along with me on this wonderful journey through my Instagram account @mudtownpottery and Facebook page, Mudtown Pottery.  Thank you!!!
