Happy 2026 from Crutchfield Pottery
During our first executive board meeting of the year—held on New Year's Day in front of the fire, wearing pajamas, and enjoying hot cocoa—I asked Barry what message he would like to share with our customers. His response was simple and sincere: “Thank you. Tell them thank you for their support.”
So, to everyone who has supported us, thank you. We deeply appreciate your orders and your ongoing encouragement, especially throughout what proved to be a financially challenging year for many.
While we do not make resolutions or set ambitious goals, we do have a guiding philosophy as our time on earth grows shorter: we will not lose sight of joy. We will continue to create our pottery as long as it brings us happiness.
We hope that whenever you use your piece of Crutchfield Pottery, it brings you joy as well.

All of our pottery is lead free, food, dishwasher, and microwave safe.

Each piece is made when you order it and has slight variations and the artist’s signature and year on the bottom, letting you know that they came straight from our pottery studio to your home!.

About the Artist

Barry Crutchfield has been making his living as a potter since the early seventies. He opened his own studio in California in 1980, doing art shows and winning awards throughout the United States.

He and his family moved to Washington in 1990 where he continued traveling to art shows with his wife Terri and two daughters for over 20 years.

As the world of online shopping boomed, he traded in his art show trailer for an online Etsy shop to sell his creations. In 12 years he has had over 11,000 sales with an average 5 star rating for his hand thrown ceramic dinnerware sets and functional pottery.

A gathering around the table reminds us that warmth and comfort that can be found during this chilly season. Homemade meals served on handmade pottery make every meal a special occasion.

Whether it's a cozy evening with warm drinks in handmade mugs, or a hot meal on a snowy day, winter has a way of bringing people together. Our wish for you is warmth, comfort, and joy this winter,

Barry & Terri
