Carole & John Bandurchin - Ashburn Pottery

Updated: Mar 28

Carole began working with clay forty three years ago.

Carole and John work together, making pieces that are both

functional and decorative.

Both have taken courses and workshops from several other

potters, with an emphasis on throwing techniques.

Their pottery is wheel thrown, handbuilt from slabs, extruded and

sometimes a combination of two or even all three of those

methods. John hase made all of the dies used in extruding, and all

of the forms used for slab building.

Most of their ideas have come from various things they see around

them, including shapes in nature and other pottery.

They are happy that their pottery is used and enjoyed on a regular

basis and like hearing, for example, "Morning coffee in your mug is

the best way to start my day".
