Welcome to the
Clay Sewell Ceramics website
July 10, 2025
Well, we have made our move to Eastman, WI, which is actually closer to Seneca. Currently seeking builders for construction of the studio. Until construction begins, everything is on hold including sale of pottery (in storage).
All of my work is one-of-a-kind ceramic ware ready to ship to you (without Tariffs!). The price of all items includes shipping anywhere in the continental US.
A little about Clay Sewell: I have lived in Aurora, Illinois most of my life with my wife Denise, where we raised three pretty neat children.
I received a B.A. in Craft Design with an emphasis in woodworking / ceramics from Iowa State University. After earning my teaching credentials, I soon found that it was difficult to both teach and work as an artist at the same time. My focus became my fantastic students. Eventually I earned masters degrees in Secondary Education and Ceramics from Northern Illinois University and have exhibited my work locally, regionally and nationally.
In 2015, I retired from teaching at the Illinois Mathematics and Science Academy, having taught 35 years of ceramics and photography. I am now concentrating on clay with a more sustained relationship with this wonderful material.
Today, my focus is on working primarily with porcelain to make functional work that is fired in wood & soda kilns. As you can see by my work, my interest is in the making of bottles, jugs and functional ware. These forms continually fascinate me.
