Kourtenay Plummer Pottery

Hello! My name is Kourtenay Plummer and I am the maker behind Kourtenay Plummer Pottery. I was born and raised in Chesterfield County. I fell in love with pottery at a young age and decided to pursue art in college. I graduated from William and Mary with a BA in art and a MaEd in elementary education. I have been teaching art to both children and adults for the past seven years in Williamsburg. Life presented a crossroads and I decided to leave teaching to pursue art full time. Since leaving my teaching job, I have completed two residencies at the Visual Arts Center of Richmond. I used this time to explore art with clay again and I began producing more art than ever before. Clay is the medium that makes the most sense to me and the one that I am most passionate about. I find myself begin able to best express my thoughts and passions with this material. I produce sculptural tableware, functional tableware and ceramic jewelry.
