Denniston Street Potters

Host: Nancy McNary Smith

My studio has grown into an atelier where several former students now create porcelain work in their own distinctive styles. Though our work is diverse, we share a love of clay, a spirit of collaboration, and lasting friendships. As one artist says, “This is my happy place.”

After more than 50 years working with clay, my own practice continues to evolve. I am fascinated by porcelain’s ability to surprise me. I explore its limits, embracing the unpredictable effects of the kiln, the beauty of translucence, and forms that capture a sense of movement. I’m always searching for the “sweet” line.
