Mudworks Pottery
Mudworks Pottery is located in Boerne, Texas and is the private studio of clay artist Sherri Jo Adams.
Sherri Jo began her pottery career eight years ago by taking some classes from two established potters and then continued studying independently. Since that time Sherri Jo has won awards in juried competitions, and recognized in 'Dallas Home Design' and 'Richardson Living' magazines. She continues teaching beginning wheel lessons for adults, works on numerous custom orders, and makes her pottery available through retail shops and art festivals.
The simple shapes and forms of Mudworks Pottery is one of a kind, wheel thrown and hand built stoneware. All pieces are functional and created with non-leaded clay bodies and glazes. This pottery is safe in the oven, microwave and dishwasher.
Sherri Jo ‘s inspiration comes from her faith and the works of all artists’, no matter what the medium. She enjoys creating forms that can be used and shared among family and friends for generations to come. Sherri Jo wants her art to be recognized for the love and hope she has for life, and her belief in traditions.
"Pottery making is one of the most ancient arts, and I have always been intrigued by the process and techniques, which are still very much the same. I am mostly inspired by early utilitarian American folk pottery that uses simple shapes and forms. When I work with the earth’s substance, clay, I am able to become an integral part of this world. So, by creating useful pots with my hands for others to enjoy, I am expressing thanks to God for blessing me with this talent.
