Potters Studios
Potters love to visit other potters' studios, and love to
buy other potters' work. A common question in the user groups is
"I'm going X, where can I see potters' studios?" So here
is a place for you to sign up if you have an open studio. E-mail
addresses or phone numbers are recommended so travelers can phone
ahead.

www.littlepotter.com
- Kurt Unterschuetz and Caryn Unterschuetz are craft persons in the
classical sense, and find themselves endlessly intrigued by the
transformation of earth and its elements into art and function.
- Working as professional potters and artisans since the early 1990s,
the Unterschuetzes are recognized for their unique horsehair raku
pottery. The technique originated with the Japanese, and involves
heating handthrown pots to 1,000 degrees in a special kiln, then laying
horsehair across the hot pottery to oxidize and produce beautiful
designs. They also create a line of spongeware function, which remains a
perennial favorite with collectors of Unterschuetz pottery.
- Caryn is a multi-media artist, and is best known for her Chinese
brushstroke work, which is available as prints, or as part of Kurt's
line of porcelain bowls and pots.
- All work is handthrown and handcrafted, and all production is done in
their Prescott studio. Dates and times typically open (if varies
please advise to call or e-mail first): Always open but call
first to make sure we're here.

classes allow for individualized attention.

space to accommodate our new kiln. We can't wait to get the permits and

ancient cultures and clay/surface treatment and firing methods. We pit,

both. Usually there every weekend.

I'm primarily a hand-builder, drawing a lot of my ideas from other mediums (painting, sculpture, print-making) as well as from other potters, especially in a
Noguchi/Voulkos tradition. Primarily working at cone 6 porcelain, because it takes color so
well. I do work in stoneware and fire gas, raku and wood when I have a chance.
It's hard to have your own studio in NYC so I'm a studio gypsy, parking myself wherever there's room, often at a college.
Almost always available if I get phone or e-mail notice. Also, can recommend International Student Hostels for NYC visitors on a low budget.
It is both a pleasure and a marvelous learning experience to spend time with other potters.

pieces are microwave/oven and dishwasher safe. If you would like to see

appearance to her work, her passion excels in her creations, with
sculptured enhancements of cats and nature.

assortment of earth tones, crystal glazes, and accents.
Traditional to non-traditional, functional to hand sculptured,
