about
this blog is made for those who share an appreciation in the subtle beauty in simple handmade ceramic forms, and as an ode to the ceramic artists who inspire me.
this is a curated blog/ceramics library, where I ask each selected artists for written permission to present a few images and text in their own words.
vitrifiedstudio is a small ceramics studio located in portland oregon USA specializing in simple handcrafted functional ware designed by myself, shelley martin.

I absolutely love the gathering of these fine artist, you’ve got quite an eye. With this great selection I have been inspired too, thank you.

Hello,
Congratulations with this blog !
I want to present myself as an ceramist.
A few images of my work can be seen on my facebook page.
Next week I have an appointment with a fotographer to take new pictures of
my new porcelain work.
Once they are taken I’d like to send them to you to have your opinion.
I hope once to be part of your blog !
Best regards,
Martine Keirsebilck
