Cole Art Pottery was established in 2000 in Sumner, Iowa. My creations include functional and semi-functional, wheel-thrown and electric fired stoneware pottery using a variety of glazing techniques. My pottery is made of a red clay; stained with iron oxide washes to give an "earthy" appearance. I specialize in platter, bowls, vases, bottlenecks and lidded forms. Recent pottery involves the imbedding of marine fossils that I collect near Rockford, IA. My pottery is shown in a number of galleries in Iowa and Minnesota and I participate in numerous art shows in Iowa and Wisconsin.

During our 4 day firing, our pots are marked by the flame and ash, making each one unique. We use many indigenous glaze materials and pay special attention to details like form, fluting and texture. Please come out and browse hundreds of pots in the showroom, check out the kiln, and enjoy the fall colors on the hills surrounding our home.
