The Potter
Cheryl Webnar, Cartersville, GA
Cheryl Webnar creates functional and sculptural pottery from her studio in Cartersville, Georgia. Each piece is crafted by hand on the wheel: shaped, trimmed, glazed, and fired. No two are ever exactly alike.
She works in both mid-fire and high-fire stoneware, and specializes in the copper red glaze; a reduction firing technique that produces deep crimson, oxblood, and flame tones unique to every firing.
Craft & Process
What Makes Each Piece Distinct
Mid-Fire Stoneware
Fired to cone 5–6, mid-fire work balances durability with a wide palette of glaze colors. Food-safe, dishwasher-safe, and built to last.
High-Fire Stoneware
Cone 10 reduction firing creates denser clay bodies with rich, complex glaze surfaces that can't be replicated at lower temperatures.
Copper Red Glaze
A studio specialty: copper red is a flame-reduction technique producing breathtaking oxblood, crimson, and liver-of-sulfur tones impossible to replicate in oxidation.
