About Us
In the year 2020, the world slowed down and I set out on a journey to learn to make pottery on the wheel after a move of the Holy Spirit on my heart. This journey began with the Lord revealing to me how He works in the hearts of people and quickly evolved into a passion for making something beautiful and useful from a simple, ordinary ball of clay...just like He does in us. The learning process was very challenging at times, but in the end, the reward of holding a piece of art and knowing He held my hand through the trial and error was well worth it. My prayer is that when you hold this piece of clay, it reminds you of the One who holds your hand and what He can do with the most simple, most ordinary ball of clay. So no matter how little you have been given, a big God will do amazing things with it...if you just hand it over to Him.

This whole pottery journey started during COVID quarantine. It was partly something I always wanted to try due to the influence of my Uncle Robert (Alewine Pottery - Gatlinburg, TN). And the other part, I believe, a calling from the Lord to step out on faith. It was a long, difficult path with clay being slung all over the place…but it was adventurous and, most of all, fun. It’s an amazing thing to turn an ordinary ball of clay into something beautiful and useful. But mostly, it revealed so much to be about how the Lord works in the hearts of his children.

Hi, I’m Mary Susan. I’m a potter and co-owner of Two Fish Pottery along side my parents. I started throwing pottery in 2020 and really began to grow and hone my skill in 2021. To me, throwing pottery feels like absolute creative freedom, starting with a ball clay and turning it into whatever I want!
My favorite pieces to make are bowls and I love to test my limits to see how large I can make something!

My love for pottery was born after a season of disbelief. In 2020, when everything came to a halt during quarantine, my husband said he was going to learn how to throw pottery. Of course, I assumed he would try and quit, but that was far from the case. He spent months trying to center and finally began to form pieces. I was so fascinated. Then after a great deal of “watching” I began my pottery journey. It’s a wonderful feeling to create something with your hands that can be beautiful and useful.
