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.
Cheryl not only creates and teaches classes at her studio, she also does shows! Look for her at the next in-town festival and/or book her for your show/event!
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.
