Carly Shanks, Ceramic Artist


I am a ceramic artist working in Croton on Hudson, New York and I am a member at the Peekskill Clay Studios in Peekskill, New York. I’ve been hooked on pottery ever since my first pinch pot in elementary school.

My work is often inspired by my love of nature and the changing seasons. I incorporate designs based upon my observations of my surroundings using surface design techniques like painting, carving, and imprinting.

Making art is where I feel like my true self and at peace in my body. It is an honor to share my work with you.

Please take a look around the gallery and contact me if you see anything you like or would like to commission any pieces. I would love to work with any local folks looking for pottery.
