Benjamyn's Pottery

In July 2026, I began exploring pottery through private lessons, learning the fundamentals of working with clay and discovering the process of creating with my hands. As a new creative outlet, pottery has given me the opportunity to slow down, experiment, and explore a different form of creativity through texture, color, and design. This collection captures my first pieces as I continue learning and growing in my ceramics journey.

My pottery pieces are not available for sale.

Handcrafted Octopus Bowl

My first pottery piece, this wheel-thrown ceramic bowl features a red octopus illustration and layered ocean-inspired glazes in shades of blue and earthy green. Inspired by Marcellus, the octopus at the heart of Remarkably Bright Creatures, this piece was my first exploration of bringing inspiration from books and nature into my pottery.
