Handcrafted Pottery
Featured in Gift Gallery

The pottery of James Burke, created in his country studio, is now available at the Gift Gallery. His work combines function and style making pottery that is both useful and fascinating. He began working with clay in Virginia in 1972 and moved back to upstate New York and the family farm in 1982. Ceramics has always remained part of his life and he currently has established a full-time studio. Each pottery piece is made of stoneware clay, hand-thrown and fired at temperatures exceeding 2,300 degrees fahrenheit. Burke's pottery is oven, dishwasher, and microwave-safe.
