Alchemy & Artistry
Dirt Druid Pottery is a queer, neurodivergent-owned and operated small-batch pottery company based in Denver, Colorado. These ceramic pieces meld wheel-thrown and sculptural techniques to explore the shape, color, and texture of natural materials such as rock faces, flowing water, plant life, and fungi. Dirt Druid's mission is to interlace handmade items with whimsy and imagination while staying grounded in sustainable art practices.
Recent Works
My work is made in small batches, allowing for creative freedom and differences in form and themes to arise as I explore new areas of inspiration. Some pieces are in consistent production, while others may be available only in limited supply.
Dimensions may vary: 4” height, 3.5” width at mouth. Thi smug holds 12 fluid ounces.
*Dishwasher and microwave use are discouraged due to the delicate nature of the mug *
Inspired by mycelial networks, fungi, and microorganisms, Lattice Mugs are carefully curated through a multi-step process. While the formula stays the same, each is unique in its hand-carved pattern and shape.
Mugs are wheel-thrown using mid-fire Bmix, hand-carved and assembled, and glazed with food-safe and lead-free glazes.
Wood-fired mugs were fired in two Groundhog-style wood kilns in Tres Piedras, New Mexico, by a team of roughly 20 people over 5 days. Wood firing allows for a multitude of surface details to appear, such as crystal formations, carbon trapping, and color changes from the original glaze formulation. Each wood-fired pot is one of one and cannot be entirely reproduced in its likeness.
Dimensions may vary: 4” height, 3.5” width at mouth. Options of 10oz or 12 oz mugs available.

An exploration of self and environment through clay
Each pot is an expression of myself and the chapters of life I reside in while making it. My work, technique, and aesthetics are ever-changing as I gain more knowledge and experience through the materials and the world around me. Within the creative process, I focus on the subtleties of texture and form to create a sensory experience for the hands that hold it.
