RBD Pottery is created by Rachel and Jamin Bultman. We have two daughters, Quinn and Clover. Pottery is our full time job and when we're not making pottery we're dreaming of camping, hiking, or gardening - basically anything we can do outside!

RBD Pottery was founded 2014 in Alaska just after we were married. Returning from Anchorage where Rachel had taken some ceramics and sculpture classes while working on an art degree at the University of Anchorage Alaska she interned at a studio in Homer where she began selling her mugs. This began the side-hustle which was to become RBD Pottery. At the beginning of 2018, Jamin quit his job as a graphic designer and ever since then we've been making pottery together full time. We now live in the Smoky Mountains of North Carolina where we continue to be inspired by nature and get to create our work from home.

We take time to make each piece with care and intention, checking each piece carefully for flaws before we sell it. We want to carefully walk the line between precise craftsmanship and handmade art. Each piece is hand-thrown, hand-painted, and hand-carved making each a unique work of art. We love combining pieces of art with pottery that is durable enough for you to use on a daily basis. 

Every morning before we do anything else Rachel and I sit together with our cup of coffee and talk about what our day looks like, what we need to work on, and pray about the things that we are working towards and for the people we love. Our mugs are part of that pause and experience. 

Gathering inspiration from leaves, flowers and adventures outside is how we create the the designs behind our products. Connecting with nature and finding peace away from our busy lives re-focuses us and reminds us that life is still beautiful and full of wonder. Nature brings us closer to our great artist - Jesus, architect of beauty and source of our hope when we feel anxious and overwhelmed. 

We want our pottery to bring you joy and comfort; to be part of your home, your family, and your experiences. We hope our work is part of you taking the time to enjoy those small moments, and finding things that make you smile and enjoy the life around you.
