For the Love of Clay

Brooke & Dana Gehman began making pottery in 1993 and fell in love with the redemptive nature of this art. They love taking what most people would consider worthless dirt and making works of beauty from the clay. Find the perfect one-of-a-kind gift for the people in your life. Each piece is hand-thrown and uniquely distinct from the other pieces.

Est. 1993

In the Spring of 1992, Brooke Gehman took a field trip with his art college art class to a small town nestled in the Southeast Corner of Kansas called Elk Falls. There, he met master potters, Steve & Jane Fry. He lived with them for a portion of that Summer and fell in love with the Fry's, with Elk Falls and with Clay and the Pottery-Making process. In April of 1993, Brooke & Dana married and moved to Elk Falls where they spent the next 4 years apprenticing with the Fry's.

from the dirt

The Pottery-Making process has become a picture to us of how something like clay that most people would simply see as dirt and discard can become a beautiful work of art to be cherished for generations to come. We choose to see each person we meet as a work of art in progress. We embrace the messiness and the process. There are no undesirables. Each person is a unique, irreplaceable gift to the universe.

made with care

Each peice of Gehman Pottery is handled with much care and detail. No two peices are exactly alike.

Quality and Care

Each piece of our pottery is a hand-made and unique one-of-a-kind work of art.

Quality and Care

Each piece of our pottery is a hand-made and unique one-of-a-kind work of art.

Form and functionality are the key to our works of art. Some pottery is made for the purpose of sitting on a shelf to enjoy the beauty of the form. At Gehman Pottery Works, we believe that functionality does not negate the beauty of the vessel but enhances it. Our mugs and kitchen ware become very personal and valued additions to the homes of our customers.

If you live within driving distance of Adams, Tennessee...why don't you plan on making a trip to see our wares in person! A picture may be worth a thousand words, but actually holding one of our mugs or other pieces in your hands will help you decide which one you can't live without!

You can personalize and customize any of our items for the perfect gift that says, "I care enough to get you something you can't find in any other store!"

Brooke Gehman

Potter

From the time he was very young, Brooke loved art and creativity. For years he dreamed of working for Disney or illustrating books, but at the age of 19 he discovered clay and fell in love. The picture of seemingly worthless dirt being transformed into something of beauty is a theme in Brooke's life. Redemption. Restoration. Beauty from ashes.

Dana Gehman

Glazer & Kiln loader

Dana is not artistic, but is full of great ideas that Brooke is able to make happen. Together, they make a dynamic duo. After promising herself she'd never marry a weird artist, she found a non-weirdo artistic genius and made beautiful pots and babies with him.
