About Us

Each piece of Sweetwater Pottery is beautifully individual. Formed by hand on the potter's wheel, pieces in sets are similar to one another, but each has a character uniquely its own.

Each piece is bisque fired, glazed by hand, them kiln-fired to 2400°F. This difficult high-fire process gives the claybodies and their glazes warm earth tones and textures impossible to achieve at lower temperatures.

All glazes used are lead-free and acid resistant, oven-proof, dishwasher- and microwave safe. Every piece is safe for everyday use with food and drink.

Sweetwater Pottery is located in the Sweetwater Community Land Trust - nearly 500 acres on the headwaters of the Gasconade River north of Mansfield, Missouri.
Home to a small craft community, Sweetwater's purpose is to protect and preserve the land and the natural habitat, and to foster a cooperative community way of life. The beauty and quiet splendor of Sweetwater provide the wellspring of inspiration for Sweetwater Pottery

We will be happy to create anything your heart desires...
