ABOUT ERIN
My name is Erin Gencheff (they/them/theirs) and I am a ceramicist based in Door County, WI. Kai is my cat, supervisor, and helps with PR. I produce wheel-thrown pottery with a healthy mix of traditional and contemporary design. The main clay body I use is Grolleg porcelain, with occasional use of stoneware and earthenware. The pottery I make focuses on form, feel, and color. I shoot for a sleek yet organic form that is soothing to the eye and feels natural in the hand.
Erin focuses on creating ceramics that are as pleasing in the hand as they are to the eye, using materials
like porcelain and stoneware to express artistic intention through shape, surface, and glaze. With a studio practice rooted in both design and tradition, Erin’s pottery invites collectors to experience the quiet joy of everyday objects shaped by thought and care.
