Exquisite art in Marcellus, New York

Welcome to Karen Jean Smith - Ceramics, a unique store nestled in the heart of Marcellus, New York. Located at 39 Reed Street, our studio offers a delightful blend of nature-inspired ceramics and whimsical artistry. Karen, the creative force behind the store, draws inspiration from the natural beauty she encounters while kayaking and hiking. Her passion for organic forms and textures is evident in her sculptural work, which often begins with the simple elegance of a piece of dead wood or the intricate form of a plant. Recently, Karen has been crafting exquisite cups and vessels adorned with the delicate beauty of native forest flowers. Additionally, she is exploring her creativity through fanciful sculptural pieces inspired by Lewis Carroll's enchanting poem, "The Jabberwocky." Karen's recent studies at Clayscapes Pottery, Inc. in Syracuse, NY, have further honed her skills, while her background as an elementary art teacher adds a unique perspective to her artistic process.
