About

Hi! I’m Brynne Payne, an Arizona native with a passion for ceramics.  I was previously a high school ceramics teacher who spent 9 years working to inspire my students in the classroom.  I now am a stay-at-home mom working to inspire my 3 boys every day.  There is no greater joy than seeing future generations fall in love with ceramics in the same way that I have.  I enjoy pushing others to try new methods that I discover, and it is that collaborative relationship that helps to fuel my own continued experimentation with new techniques and methods.

I enjoy creating pieces that balance the raw nature of clay and refined surfaces created with glazes.   As an artist, I strive to create a balance of decoration and function within my pieces. Each piece that I design and produce incorporates details that are eye-catching and unexpected.  Nature, patterns, and textiles are constant sources of inspiration for me, but at the core of all of my work is the goal of pairing function and distinctive beauty.
