Florida Pottery Scene Today
Florida's current pottery landscape mixes ancient traditions with modern innovation. The state's ceramic history runs deep - Native Americans created beautiful pottery here for over 2,500 years before European contact. Today's artists honor this legacy while pushing creative boundaries.
The Southwest Florida Potters Guild and Potters Guild of Florida's Gulf Coast keep the community connected through workshops and events. These groups help new potters learn from experienced artists while promoting ceramic arts throughout the region. Contemporary Florida studios embrace diverse firing techniques including raku, wood firing, and experimental vapor methods. Many artists blend traditional pottery with glass work, mosaics, and sculptural pieces. The warm climate allows for year-round outdoor firing and creative experimentation.
