Marsha Geer Landers Loads her Reduction Kiln

I became a partner in the Houston Potters Guild Shop in 1990 when it located to Rice University Village in West University, Houston, Tx; and was with this prestigious local potters guild until it closed its storefront location on Dunlavy St. Houston Texas in 2010. I continue to produce functional and decorative pottery as well as ceramic sculpture from my ClayThings Pottery and Sculpture Studio in Cove, Texas. I welcome visitors to stop by for a visit. It is a most picturesque setting which you will enjoy. I have a great selection of pottery at affordable prices and I'm sure you will find just what you are looking for.

All my functional pottery is food safe, lead free, dishwasher and microwave safe and some can even go in conventional ovens.

Overlooking Cotton Lake

Very alarming like the day I walked out to get into my car and "Smiley" was right there in the driveway. She then crawled up under my tire and lay there for a while.......until she got good and ready to leave. I surely did not want to get bit trying to get into my car.

I love sculpting even more than making pottery on the wheel. I will make a good supply of bisque ware and have it ready to glaze when the need comes. Then I'm free to sculpt.

Custom Orders

I do lots of custom orders. My biggest order is from the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America which had a youth gathering in Houston Texas in the summer of 2018. They commissioned me to make 400 Communion sets, a chalice and paten, for this event. 800 pieces altogether. Challenging but it was completed three weeks ahead of time.
