Mary Ann Sevick is a functional potter. Her pottery primarily includes wheel-thrown, stoneware vessels. She glaze-fires her pottery in an electric kiln when vibrant colors are desired, and uses a gas kiln for softer, earthier finishes. Mary Ann aims for precision and symmetry in most of her work – but sometimes purposefully pushes clay beyond the limits of control. This results in wobbles and collapses consistent with the Japanese notion of wabi-sabi (a meditative philosophy that embraces imperfection). Mary Ann particularly enjoys the Zen nature of throwing pots and, in the words of Bernard Leach, the manner in which pottery “engages the head, the heart, and the hands”.
Mary Ann’s studio was built in 2024- 2025, and is surrounded by perennial gardens and contains a single electric wheel, slab roller, and kiln. New to the Fall Art Tour in 2026, Mary Ann extends a heartfelt welcome to her studio.
