Shanware Pottery was founded in 1975 in Stoneham, Massachuestts.
In 1987 it moved to it's current location in Rumney, New Hampshire.

In 2004 the old barn was torn down and a new studio built. The new gallery is heated and has handicap access.

All Shanware Pottery is hand thrown on the wheel.
Besides choosing from our many standard designs and one of a kind pieces, you may make custom order requests, and we will work with you to design items specifically for you. The only requirement is that you have patience as the pottery process is long and difficult, with results not always predictable. Since all Shanware pottery is handcrafted sizes may vary slightly from those listed. Each piece is a unique creation.
We look forward to hearing from you.
