Rory Shamlian is the owner and designer behind Rory Pots. She started this business with the desire to work with her hands and design freely. Her relationship with ceramics began as a source of grounding during the deep winters of Vermont, and quickly became an all-consuming study of design and craft. From apprenticeships and studio assistantships with high-level ceramicists, to years of independent study, Rory Pots was born.
