Ceramic Art Handmade in Austin, Texas

Pelican is a small pottery studio based in Austin and created by Morghan Gray. Pelican handcrafts unique and quality ceramic art. Pelican pottery is handwashable, microwavable, and safe to use. The work is distinguished by whimsical forms and the high relief of its geometric, floral, and abstract patterns. The raised surface patterns on Pelican pottery are inspired by jianzhi (the art of paper cutting) and su xiu tuan (embroidery from Suzhou, Jiangsu Province).
