As Sweet as a Pinkkiss


Pinkkiss pottery is a line of handcrafted ceramic housewares made by Shawna Pincus.  Pinkkiss pottery is handmade from slabs of clay that are rolled thin and formed over a hand thrown mold or cut from an original pattern and shaped.


Shawna hand paints all of her work using underglazes much as a painter would use paints. She also print on the surface using my own technique of blockprinting, stamping and screen printing. Each piece is coated with studio made food safe glazes and fired in her electric kiln making them strong and safe to use on a daily basis.
