O'Malley Mercantile
Our Pottery Adventure
What started as curiosity about clay quickly grew into a shared adventure in making, learning, collecting molds, and seeing what we can create next.
How it started
Learning one pour, firing, and finished piece at a time
O'Malley Mercantile is our creative adventure together. We started exploring pottery through hand building and ceramic slip casting, and before long we found ourselves collecting molds, pouring greenware, learning how to clean and prepare each piece, and getting to know our kiln.
One of our favorite parts of the process is that there is always something new to learn. A mold we have never poured, a glaze combination we have not tried, or the moment we open the kiln and finally see how a piece turned out all keep the adventure interesting.
Some days are spent pouring molds. Other days are for cleaning greenware, glazing, firing, or simply figuring out what we want to try next. Our shop is growing right alongside our skills, and we enjoy sharing both the finished pieces and the process behind them.
O'Malley Mercantile is a place for us to share what we make and the journey behind it. Thanks for following along with us. We are excited to see what comes out of the studio next.
