Pottery in Action

JOHN RILEY POTTERY

I genuinely enjoy meeting and communicating with customers in person, via Etsy, and through social media. I feel honored to have my craft become a part of someone's home. Below are some pictures from customers and those who have received John Riley Pottery as gifts. If you've purchased an item from me, I would love to hear about how the pottery is being utilized in your home. Email me an action shot! (Let me know if I have your permission to post the photo.)
