Quiet vessels,made slowlyby one pair of hands.

A small studio working in stoneware and porcelain. Every piece is wheel-thrown, glazed by hand, and fired in our gas kiln behind the studio. We open the doors twice a year — what's left after the kiln cools is what you'll find below.

how it's made

Six steps, in order, every time.

studio · wedge
01
wedge

Local stoneware is wedged on a slate board to align the clay and pull out air. Twenty minutes, more on humid days.

studio · throw
02
throw

Each piece is centered and thrown on the wheel. Most forms come up in five to twelve minutes; teapots take an afternoon.

studio · trim
03
trim

After a slow drying, pieces are trimmed leather-hard on the wheel. Foot rings are cut by feel.

studio · glaze
04
glaze

Glazes are mixed in small batches in the studio. Most are applied by dipping; some are brushed in layers.

studio · fire
05
fire

A single firing in the gas kiln, twenty-two hours up and a slow cool. Reduction is held between cone 9 and cone 10.

studio · sort
06

Once the kiln is unloaded, pieces are sorted. Seconds are kept; the rest go up here.

about

A studio of one,
a kiln out back.

Housel Pottery is run by Anna Housel out of a converted carriage house in Hudson, New York. Anna trained at Alfred and apprenticed for three years in Mashiko before opening the studio in 2018. The work draws from both — Eastern restraint, Hudson Valley clay.

Most pieces are functional. They are made to be lifted, used daily, washed, chipped over time. Imperfections are left where they fall.
