This unique married couple took their inspiration for their pottery while watching Mary’s father, potter Norman Smith. Although mostly self-taught, they began working on their craft part-time in 1983 but retirement now allows them to work full time. They create metal butterflies and objects made of wood, but they prefer making pottery from start to finish.

Cecil and Mary love to create items that people enjoy. Their mugs, pitchers and bowls are utilitarian pieces that should be used every day in the kitchen for food preparation and in setting the table for a meal. Their metal butterflies can be used in the home or in the garden, and their bird baths or bird feeders are a welcome sight to our feathered friends.
