Old Pearce Pottery - Handcrafted Ceramic Gifts

Description

Hi! I’m Patti (Patricia) Frei-Burris, the lone potter at Old Pearce Pottery. It’s wonderful working out here in the middle of the high desert (4500’) along the Ghost Town Trail.

I first arrived in this area in 1963. My Dad moved us here so he could help in the development (construction) of the area. It was a great opportunity for him and provided for many adventures for us kids in this sparsely- populated area. It’s grown in leaps and bounds since that time, but it’s still the homeland of Cochise and Geronimo and home to Old Pearce Pottery, as well.

My work is stoneware at cone 6 oxidation. I do have a propane (huge) kiln out back of the studio---all ready to go, but I’m going to sell it. The electric kilns work well for me and it’s the “making” that I enjoy most these days. I mix the glazes and one clay body for my work. I have relied heavily on John Conrad’s Complete Compendium and Ceramics Monthly, as well as old recipes from Arizona State University, where I was introduced to clay. Every now and then, I’ll “try” something in the glazing process and sometimes it works, so I’ve kept those trials.
