Shooting Star
Pottery is one of the last remaining working studios
in Patagonia. It is located directly behind Mesquite
Grove Gallery on McKeown Ave. The best way to get
to Shooting Star Pottery is thru the gardens at
Mesquite Grove Gallery.
Shooting Star Pottery features mostly functional
pieces thrown on a potters wheel, specializing
in tableware and dinnerware sets, as well as one
of a kind pieces. The glazes can be bright and
eye catching, or a variety of more subltle earthtones. The use of
white stoneware and a porcelain clay allow for
the true colors of the glazes to show.
Shooting Star potter, Martha Kelly, has been in Patagonia working
as a studio potter since 1981. "Throughout my life,
clay has always been the source of my true joy. The magic of making
something
out of nothing is truly a gift to the potter as
well as the world. "
Martha Kelly's ceramic mosaics can be seen by the
Art Center on Naugle Ave. A smaller mosaic panel
is located further down Naugle Ave. next to Mercedes
Mexican Restaurant.
If you don't find Martha at her studio, just give her a call and
she will be happy to open her studio for you!
