About
Grace DePledge is a studio potter who finds joy in creating hand-made pots that communicate vitality, elegance, and strength. Her functional porcelain work is known for carved patterned surfaces that reference nature.
Grace grew up surrounded by vineyards, rivers, and the mountains of California, where she developed a love for nature and artistic expression at an early age. She holds a bachelor’s degree in liberal arts, and spent many professional years as a creative director, cultivating skills in graphic design, typography, photography, and writing, and using those elements to craft meaningful messages. Having transferred her creative energy to clay, she now seeks to craft meaningful pots—finding both a connection with her roots in design, as well as tremendous inspiration in exploring form and incising pattern on the dimensional porcelain surface.
Believing that experiencing beauty is essential to life, Grace values investing her work with human touch, enduring quality, and fine craftsmanship. Her pots are exhibited regularly and live happily in the homes of those who appreciate her graceful aesthetic.
