Butterfield, Davin & Susan

Davin and Susan Butterfield are the owners of Butterfield Pottery. Davin has been working professionally in pottery for over 25 years. Susan, an accomplished painter, does all the beautiful designs on the pottery.

Nature and its amazing wildlife give them inspiration each day while the clay between the hands gives them the physical and spiritual connection to the earth. Making pottery that is both functional and beautiful has been their lifelong pursuit. A gas fire reduction kiln paired with many layers of oxides, gives Susan’s brushwork a painterly depth. This technique is what’s used for the spectacular cobalt blue and earthy greens/browns tones that you see here in the gallery.
