Handmade
art pottery
Starting with a block of clay and an idea, pottery artist Julie Ward handcrafts and hand-paints each item with thoughtful details and vibrant colors to create whimsical one-of-a-kind pieces.
We dare you not to smile.
Made with clay — and love.
Whimsical Gnome Mugs
These colorful cups feature wraparound art and make whatever you’re drinking a whole lot more fun. No two are alike! Don’t miss the everyday gnome mugs featuring gnomes doing everyday things (like hanging their laundry or feeding their chickens) and holiday gnome mugs of gnomes weaving magical spells, untangling Christmas lights and more!
Adopt a Gnome
Handmade from sheets of white clay, these mischievous fellows range in size from 7 inches to 12 inches and can live indoors or out. Give a gnome a home!

Thrown on my potter’s wheel, these mugs are available in round or heart shapes and are glazed in various colors. Beautiful, one-of-a-kind pieces.
Available for a limited time each year!
