Monday, March 13, 2023Yonkers Pottery Was Featured in The REDFIN | Blog ~ Decorating with Pottery: Elevating Your Space with Handcrafted PiecesDating back centuries, pottery has always been a popular form of artistic expression and has played a critical role in creating a captivating space. Pottery is beautiful in both form and function, purpose and practicality. It’s created to evoke joy through everyday use. After all, there’s no denying that drinking from a handmade mug or serving dinner in a bowl created by a local artist means so much more. From dishes and decorative pieces to flowerpots and lamps, finding a unique piece to add beauty in any room of the house can make all the difference. While there aren’t many rules when it comes to expressing your personality and style through pottery, one thing’s for certain – it shouldn’t be stored away in a cupboard. To help you get started, we reached out to artists to share their best piece of advice when using pottery as part of your home decor. So whether you live in an apartment in Atlanta, GA, or a home in Portland, OR keep reading to see how you can begin decorating with ceramics and bring your interior to the next level.
