ABOUT THE MAKER

My name is Christine Gemmell, and I am a ceramic artist based out of North Carolina. I use throwing and hand building techniques to create functional and brightly colored ceramic works that incorporate ridges, surface designs and colorful layered glazes. 

​

I began my exploration into creating functional pottery in 2016 in high school in Pennsylvania. I am a full-time product designer in the Charlotte, North Carolina area, but always have enjoyed focusing on creating practical & functional artwork in my spare time.

​

I enjoy making everyday dishes, such as mugs, cups, bowls, oil bottles, and spoon rests. My pottery is primarily wheel-thrown, created with white or brown stoneware clay, and is all food, dishwasher, & microwave safe. I fire my work in an electric kiln to cone 6 (around 2232 degrees Fahrenheit) in an oxidation atmosphere.
