About Us

Greetings! 

My name is Holly and I live in Nashville, Indiana, the heart of beautiful Brown County, the Art Colony of the midwest.   I create pottery in my home studio in the woods where I live with my husband, father, in-laws, 2 dogs, 5+ cats (we take in dropped off strays), 7 chickens, and lots of other critters. I still have one of my kids living around the area, which I absolutely love. My oldest works at Vanderbilt Universtity in Nashville, TN, my middle child is an engineering technician living near us, and my youngest is a project manager in Madison, WI.

As for me - I have always been interested in pottery and started making it again several years ago. I love everything about the process (even all the research and testing!). I find that it fulfills my need to be creative like no other activity. I currently make pottery full time and have my pots in a several stores in and outside of Indiana. I moved into my new 900 square foot studio on our property in 2021 and have been working out of it ever since, a major step up from the garage I worked out of for several years. We are so happy to be in this space!! 

Every Holly Pot is handmade and no two are exactly alike. When you purchase a Holly Pot, you have a unique creation made by hand from a mound of clay to a finished product. Each is a one of a kind piece. At Holly Pots, we don't make "matching" pieces, we make coordinated pieces and our goal is to create unique, one of a kind, pots.

Generally, I can be found throwing, trimming, painting, carving, stamping, teaching, testing, and glazing in my studio every day of the week. Making a pot is actually a fairly lengthy process when you factor in creating, drying, any applicable design testing or research, kiln firing schedule etc.. 

**We are no longer taking custom orders. If this changes in the future we will communicate that change.

In 2023 we added a beautiful line of soy candles that can be found for sale on this site. Read more about them on the Candles tab at the top of the page.

Summer of 2025 we will be releasing our latest product - Cold Process Soaps from Moon Dog Soaps. Look for more on this soon!

Our shop location is 59 East Main Street, Suite G (Old School Way) - we are a part of the wonderful area known as the Main Street Shoppes. Our neighbors, The Educated Otter, and Foxfire, Grasshopper Flats, and the tasting room for the Brown County Winery are definitely worth a visit - such wonderful  shops!  Brown County is a wonderful destination with so much to see and do - from visiting multiple local state forests, to touring local county artists at work, sipping at our local distilleries and wineries, and shopping and eating in our amazing Nashville, Indiana downtown, we really are blessed to live in such an amazing location. 

I post pictures of my pottery and some videos of my process on Facebook (hollypots47448) and Instagram (HollyPots.Stoneware).

Thank you! ~ Holly
