Welcome, Mary K Spencer to Maine Potters Market!

Mary K is a ceramic artist who creates her pottery in Bowdoin, Maine. We are very excited to welcome her as the newest member of the Maine Potters Market.

Mary K specializes in medium range functional stoneware, which she decorates in many ways. Mary K loves to experiment with surface design and sometimes creates her own decals for this purpose. We are very much looking forward to seeing all of her designs.

From humble beginnings renting space in a friend’s barn to set up her kiln and wheel, Mary Kay Spencer has been a working potter and ceramic artist for more than 35 years.
 
Mary K believes in putting the “FUN” in her functional wares. Taking inspiration from walks in nature and time spent in her garden, Mary K treats each piece of her pottery as a canvas, using a rich palette of colorful glazes and a fine hand to render watercolor style, impressionistic paintings on clay. These joyfully produced, individually hand-painted works are intended to bring a smile or evoke a happy memory. Her garden series decorates a wide range of items.
 
In addition to creating her garden pottery, Mary K’s work as an artist continues to evolve. Her current work uses bold colors and oxides to create pieces that incorporate digital photographs and decal work into her traditional pottery, mixing classic organic forms and shapes with modern lines and rich details achieved through an inventive manipulation of images and patterns.

Maine Potters Market is open seven days a week.
Hours: 10 a.m. - 6 p.m. every day.
