Welcome to Earthshine Clayworks! My name is Kelly Waldrop and after losing my previous business to the devastation of Hurricane Helene, I found myself at a crossroads. In the face of adversity, I turned to a passion that had long been a part of my life—creating art. It was from this love for handmade ceramics, and the desire to rebuild, that Earthshine Clayworks was born.

 

Located in the heart of Western North Carolina, I create small batch handmade pottery. From functional pieces to decorative art, each item is carefully shaped, fired, and glazed by hand, ensuring that no two pieces are exactly alike.

​

At Earthshine Clayworks, every item tells a story of renewal, passion, and the drive to start over again, no matter the challenges. My hope is that these handcrafted ceramics bring a little piece of the spirit of Western North Carolina into your home, and a reminder that beauty can emerge from the most difficult times.  Thank you for being a part of this journey!
