SELECTED WORK

Objects with a sense of place.

Each piece begins with clay and an idea, then evolves through throwing, hand-building, surface work, atmospheric firing and experimentation.

MY STUDIO

Where the work takes shape.

My studio is a working space: shelves of drying forms, bats and boards, glaze tests, tools, and pieces waiting for their next transformation.

I enjoy the balance between control and surprise — especially when primitive firing methods introduce marks that could never be completely planned.

THE ARTIST

Shelly Napoletano Flynn

I make decorative and functional ware using both modern and primitive techniques. My work moves between usefulness and sculpture, with an emphasis on texture, natural imagery, and the marks created by fire.

North Node Pottery grew from a long-running practice of making, experimenting, and following the work wherever the clay wants to go.
