About the Studio

A studio rooted in
the craft of clay

Carney's Ceramic Studio was born from a simple belief: that the objects we live with every day should carry beauty, purpose, and a human touch.

Located on Linden Street in Ogdensburg, our studio is a space where traditional pottery techniques meet a contemporary sensibility. Each piece is wheel-thrown or hand-built right here — no mass production, no shortcuts.

We work with a small team who share a deep respect for material and process. From the first pull on the wheel to the final glaze firing, every stage is guided by an eye for detail and a commitment to quality that our customers can feel the moment they hold a piece from our studio.

The Process

From raw clay to finished piece

Every ceramic piece passes through several stages, each one requiring patience and a steady hand.

01

Wedging & Selection

We begin by wedging the clay to remove air pockets and ensure even consistency. Each project starts with selecting the right body — stoneware for everyday ware, porcelain for finer pieces.

02

Throwing & Shaping

On the wheel, each form takes shape by hand. Centering, pulling, and refining — this is where the essential character of the piece is established.

03

Drying & Trimming

Pieces dry slowly to a leather-hard state, then are trimmed, refined, and left to dry completely before the first firing.

04

Glazing & Firing

Our glazes are mixed in-house and layered for depth. Each piece is fired at high temperature, where the chemistry of the glaze transforms into a durable, food-safe surface.
