Making things out of clay

Don't worry about getting it right, just get it going.
-Gailen Hudson

Welcome to the Clay Bank

We are your one-stop center for pottery. You are welcome to walk through, ask questions, and share your project ideas. You will find pottery crafted by Gailen, and all the materials, equipment, and tools you need for your own works of art. We have everything from clays and glazes to wheels, kilns, and tools. Gailen is a gifted potter and can usually be found sitting at the potter’s wheel throwing a project. 

Discover your creativity

Ask Gailen your questions. He is a wealth of knowledge and is willing to share. His wit and sense of humor is inviting. This is the place of art through clay.

John P. Lasater, IV painted “In His Hands” as a depiction of a potter working to shape the clay. He asked Gailen to pose for this beautiful piece. We are grateful for John’s. permission to use it here. You can see more of his work on his own website at: www.llasaterart.com.

This fun caricature captures Gailen’s humor and his work as an artist. This drawing was created by Ryan Hoffmann. You can enjoy his work at his website: https://www.hoffmanntoons.com/
