2017 was a great second year in business as a full-time studio artist.
As I gear up for another year, I don't have personal or professional resolutions. Instead, I've always valued striving for better work, more efficient and innovative techniques, and a greater understanding of the meaning of my handmade ceramic work.

Craft brew, anyone?
The special edition growlers born from my partnership with Portland Growler Company are finally here. Slip cast in Oregon and specially crafted (see what I did there?) in small batches out of my Iowa studio, these designs are flying off the shelves.

Just like the good old days. Mitchell Spain Ceramics pulls inspiration from his rustic surroundings. Rummaging for ancient pieces of "junk" in old barns and fields gives Mitchell insight into older, slower times telling a story that translates into each piece of hand-crafted pottery. He creates ceramic flasks, handmade mugs, and the best beer cups. Great for groomsmen gifts, father's day gifts, or anyone unique in your life. Treat yourself or someone special!
